![]() There are a couple of exceptions to the above light configuration for power driven vessels.įirstly, a vessel of less than 12 metres in length is allowed to combine the masthead light and stern light. This is important as under the IRPCS (or ColRegs) this makes us the overtaking vessel and therefore the ‘Give Way’ vessel. We therefore know we are approaching the vessel stern. When this light is visible to us, we can’t see any of the bow or steaming lights. Most smaller vessels don’t have the structure to accommodate this.įinally, a power driven vessel has a single white stern light. However, this is usually impractical because the rules state that the second masthead light must be 4.5 metres higher than the first. ![]() The reason we state that two mast head lights ‘probably’ mean over 50 metres is because smaller vessels are also allowed two masthead lights.
