Now we move to FISHING vessel lights.

All fishing vessels whether under way or anchored while engaged in fishing have to have the following:

If engaged in TRAWLING and under 50 meters, the vessel must have TWO all-around lights in a VERTICAL line with the upper GREEN and the lower WHITE OR a shape consisting of two cones as shown here. Also must have sidelights and stern light.

Now any fishing vessel engaged in any fishing besides TRAWLING must have the following: two vertical lights with the upper RED and lower WHITE as shown here. Also must have sidelights and stern light with the same shaped cones.

More on fishing requirements in next post.
