EQ-6 If you see a red, a green, and a white light on another boat, what does this tell you?

A boat is approaching you head-on

A boat is moving directly away from you

You have encountered a vessel at anchor with engine running

You are the stand-on vessel and must maintain course and speed

Answer: c

Explanation:

When you see a red, a green, and a white light, you are approaching another power-driven vessel head-on and both vessels must give way.

when there is red and green light with white light, it means the vessel encountered at anchor has the engine running.

Correct Answer : Option C

Explanation:

the red and green lights are the sidelights of the boat. the red light indicate the port of the vessel whereas the green light indicate the starboard of the vessel. these serves as the combination lights as they can be seen from the approaching boat either when approaching from sides or when approaching head on position.

the white light indicates the mast head light or stern light. they can be seen when approached from back nearly when behind the vessel in case of stern light. Mast light is seen from the front. they altogether indicate that the engine is running.
