USCG Exam Practice · Rule 30 — Anchored and Aground (lights)
Under the Inland Navigation Rules, a vessel at anchor that is 75 meters in length shall exhibit which lights at night?
- AA single all-round white light where it can best be seen
- BAn all-round white light in the fore part and a lower all-round white light at or near the stern✓ correct
- CTwo all-round white lights in a vertical line at the masthead
- DAn all-round white light forward and two all-round red lights in a vertical line
Why B is correct
A vessel 75 meters in length does not qualify for the single-light option, which is available only to vessels less than 50 meters. She must therefore display the two-light arrangement: an all-round white light in the fore part and a lower all-round white light at or near the stern. 33 CFR §83.30(a).
