| OK everyone I work a the tug at any time you were towing stern you are displays two white Mast lights ahead if the length of the tow is less than 200 m a Stern if the length of the tow exceeds 200 m then you will display three white lights on the mast and if the vessel is over 50 m then you would display three white lights on the mast and one forward light along with the red white red and your side lights and towing lights this sums it up right nutshell |

| A would be correct if it was one towing light and a stern light. I think. It was a tricky question and you would not see this on any test. |

| Rule 24(d) A power-driven vessel to which paragraph (a) or (c) of this Rule applies shal also comply with Rule 23(a)(ii). Simply put because the vessel is over 50 meters in length it is required to have a second masthead light abaft of and higher than the forward on. They tricked us on this one. |

| 3 masthead lights for 65 meter towing vessel. |

| Here's why they are ALL Wrong: A): 3 white Masthead lights would be "International only", Greater than 50 meters would require an "After Masthead" light. 2 towing lights is "Inland Only" when pushing ahead or tied alongside. You see where this is going? Right answer: Three Masthead lights, Second/Aftermasthead light, Red White Red vertical lights, Stern light, Towing light, Side lights, and don't get me started on shapes and lights for the towed vessels. |

| I guessed "A". After further review believe "D" is correct because towing vessel would show only "1" towing light (yellow) above the stern light when towing astern. |

| None of the above is the answer because the towing vessel won't have a towing light, the last vessel being towed will for visibility purposes. |

| It's because the towing vessel is greater than 50 meters. It will need a second masthead light "abaft of and higher than the forward one". Here is the break down of rules/confusion... Rule 23(a)(ii) lights required for power driven vessels underway says the vessel needs a second masthead light because its greater than 50 meters.. But then Rule 24(a)(i) lights required for towing/pushing says: "Instead of the light prescribed in Rule 23(a)(i) or 23(a)(ii), two masthead lights in a vertical line." THEN there is Rule 24(d) "A power-driven vessel to which Rule 24(a) or (c) applies shall also comply with Rule 23(a)(i) and 23(a)(ii)" |
