BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What type of vessel or operation is indicated by showing two cones with the apexes together?

A Mineclearing
B Sailing vessel
C Dredge
D Vessel trawling
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Vessel trawling. The two cones with the apexes together indicate the presence of a vessel engaged in trawling, which is a type of commercial fishing operation. This configuration of shapes is used to signify a trawling vessel in both the International Rules of the Road (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, which govern the navigation and safety requirements for vessels operating in U.S. waters. The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the specific signal of two cones with the apexes together. Mineclearing, sailing vessels, and dredges have different signaling requirements under the navigation rules.
