What additional equipment must vessels 20m or more in length have, apart from a whistle?

  1. A fitted bell

  2. A pealess whistle

  3. A special flashing light

  4. A radar reflector

The correct answer is: A fitted bell

Vessels 20m or more in length must have a fitted bell in addition to the whistle. It is used for navigation purposes, especially in foggy conditions. A pealess whistle, while an option, is not required for vessels of this size and is mainly used for personal safety. A special flashing light and a radar reflector may be helpful for proper navigation, especially at night, but are not mandatory for vessels of this size.
