In the Great Lakes Basin, what additional light must vessels being pushed exhibit at the forward end?

  1. A red flashing light

  2. A blue flashing light

  3. A special flashing light

  4. Two masthead lights in a vertical line

The correct answer is: A special flashing light

In the Great Lakes Basin, vessels being pushed must exhibit a special flashing light at the forward end in addition to their required navigation lights. This is to indicate to other vessels that the vessel is being towed or pushed and may have limited maneuverability. The other options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the specific requirement for vessels being pushed in the Great Lakes Basin. A red or blue flashing light is not enough on its own and two masthead lights in a vertical line are not required for vessels being pushed.
