Rule 26: Fishing Vessels | Lights & Shapes In Depth

[@MrJitzu]

May I just correct one thing, at the end when you’re talking about the 2 yellow lights being occulting, not to be mistaken for IALA’s buoyage definition of occulting where it means that it’s more on than off, here it’s equally on and off. Other than that great video dude, you’re doing a great job at explaining these rules!

[@trizo1]

he actually says they flash 'alternately' with equal 'light' and 'occulation' (light and darkness), so there's nothing to correct :)

Thank you ❤

[@marzsit9833]

one confusing question is do these rules apply only to commercial fishing vessels, or do recreational night fishing vessels also have to comply with these light rules?

[@Orcus__]

I'm almost a year late but this is only for commerical fishing not fishing for sport.

Thank you so much for your information, I wish if there is much explain about shapes... In another vidoe also will be fine

One easy way I was taught was: RAG boat: Red above Green for sailing boats GAW trawl: Green above white for trawlers WAW shoot: white above white shooting nets WARp haul: White above Red hauling nets RARe stuck: Red above red nets fast RAW fish: red above white for fishing vls WAR pilot: White above red for pilot vls Yellow purse: purse seiners 2 yellow lights

Phenomenal job of explaining the ROR

Perfect

When hauling nets, a trawler shows the same lights as a vessel under pilotage? I though that was distinct only to pilotage… Hmm! Love this series of videos you have produced, which are extremely helpful👍

[@alexanderrosete7847]

Nope, Rule 29: Pilot Vessel; White over Red light is only for vessel engaged on PILOTAGE DUTY (means pilot boat/Vessel) and NOT for a vessel under pilotage which exhibit lights of a power driven vessel (or additional lights required to identify its characteristic). (NUC, RAM, CBD) also lights when hauling nets (White over red) is an additional lights for a vessel engaged in trawling therefore (Green over White light) is still visible.

[@johnchase3920]

As I recall, red over white is for fishing at night, green over white is trawling at night. White over red is pilotage only. Yes?

[@cesarrodriguez7725]

@@johnchase3920 The white over red that you are pertaining to is only the addition to the lights prescribed for the trawling vessel as per annex 2. That means your main light would be green over white, then if you are hauling the nets, you will add the white over red light. So you will see green over white, then white over red. It means that the net of the trawling vessel is being hauled.
