| I’ve been working in the Towing industry since 1985 I have never seen a pushing unit with multiple barges whether it be two barges four barges six 8 barges 12 boxes each of them being lit separately it is always a red and green in the flashing yellow light in the center the only other things the captains will do there a different will put a steering light out in front of the load not visible to any other vessel something that they could steer on |

| I agree with ZNORTHCUTT. What is the difference between response B and D? As the question did not say "rigidly connected in the composite unit", I should assume they are not. Therefore, each vessel or barges (whetever) should show sidelights. And another detail, the answer D says "the barges should be lighted ...", should be lighted with what? Which lights? Sternlight? No, this light is not required. Therefore, the answer D is incomplete. |

| The answer A only pertains if it is connected as one composite unit. This question doesnt state that. |

| The two barges are lighted as one vessel. When the rules discuss being rigidly connected in a composite unit, they are talking about the tug and tow together. This is just discussing the two barges being pushed. It would make no sense to have sidelights on both of the barges being pushed ahead. |

| The question should have stated "rigidly connected in a composite unit". Since it did not then, 24F(i) a vessel being pushed ahead, not being part of a composite unit, shall exhibit at the forward end, sidelights; |
