Question 598 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is B. According to the International and Inland Navigation Rules (COLREGS), a vessel engaged in fishing, regardless of whether it is operating in international or inland waters, should display the shape depicted in illustration D001RR as option B - a black cone apex downward. The other options (A, C, and D) do not correctly represent the shape required for a fishing vessel under the COLREGS. Options A, C, and D depict different shapes that are used to indicate the status of other types of vessels, such as a vessel not under command or a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver.
