tug-barge lights
Re: tug-barge lights
Yes those are running Lts, they probably forgot to switch over to anchor Lts, which would be all around white one or two, depending on length but not in a vertical line.
Re: tug-barge lights
the different colors, and their variation, reads as a night-time code. for instance, "red over red means the captains dead" as it was in the navy.Guest wrote:I can see a tug and barge at anchor near my home and the tug is showing two white lights in a vertical aspect along with its running lights. I was under the impression that those are the lights to display when under way and that red lights would be displayed when the vessel is at anchor. Am I wrong? Is there a reason those lights would be displayed when the barge is anchored?
white over white would indicate, for a vessel > 50m at anchor
