| The correct answer is A) while alongside a vessel. The answer from bloxd io. When a pilot vessel is on pilotage duty and operating alongside a vessel, it is required to display identity lights. These lights help to clearly identify the pilot vessel and distinguish it from other vessels in the area. It is important for the pilot vessel to show these identity lights to ensure safe navigation and effective communication between the pilot vessel and the vessel it is piloting. |

| the question specifies that no matter what the pilot vessel is on pilotage duty. the pilot could be still on duty while in A B or C, therefore D must be correct because whenever a pilot vessel is on duty it is required to show identity lights |

| Alongside a vessel implies that it is engaged in pilotage duty. The other answers may not be engaged in pilotage duty and in that event would not have identity lights on. It's a bad question in my opinion. |

| I agree, however, you must learn to ignore the facts and find the best answer. The choice of the lits be optional is not available; therefore the best choice is "all the above." |

| I think this question is wrong. "Shall" implies has to have lights on. If underway and not engaged in pilot age duty it would not show pilotage lights, same as at anchor. |
