INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which is TRUE of a towing light when the power-driven vessel is towing alongside?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — It is not required
Rule 24(c) specifies that a power-driven vessel towing alongside must exhibit the lights prescribed for a power-driven vessel under Rule 23. A specific 'towing light' (yellow, all-round) is only required when towing astern, not when towing alongside or pushing ahead, making it unnecessary in this configuration.
