Question 838 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is D) None of the above. The regulations for the lights to be displayed by a vessel engaged in fishing and at anchor are different from the answer choices provided. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel engaged in fishing, while at anchor, is required to display an all-round white light, visible for at least 2 miles. This is known as an "anchor light" and is the correct light to be displayed in this situation, not the options provided. The other answer choices, such as displaying three vertical lights or sidelights and a stern light, are not the correct light requirements for a vessel engaged in fishing and at anchor.
