90% to passBOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You are on watch and sight a vessel showing a high intensity all-round flashing red light. Which vessel is required to have this light?
A
a seaplane when landing and taking off
B
an air-cushion vessel in the non-displacement mode
C
a submarine on the surface
D
a WIG craft in flight near the surface
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a WIG craft in flight near the surface. The reason this is the correct answer is that a WIG (Wing-In-Ground) craft, when operating in the non-displacement mode near the surface, is required to display a high intensity all-round flashing red light as a visual signal to other vessels. This requirement is specified in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). The other options are incorrect because seaplanes, air-cushion vessels, and submarines do not have this specific lighting requirement when underway or operating near the surface.
