I think that's right, a side tie gets the same light as being pushed ahead.

BTW we saw a seagoing notch barge out in the Gulf Stream this past
Saturday evening... showed normal running lights.

Thats because it is a rigid unit.

Sorry Bart but you are wrong. The special flashing light is for pushing ahead only.

Towing alongside only requires sidelights on the tow.

A is the correct answer; not D

Doug,

What is the difference in lights between the
hip tow and pushing ahead?

Bart,

You need to review.

For pushing ahead in inland rules you need sidelights and a special flashing light on the tow.

For hip towing you need only the side light on the front of the tow plus two yellow
towing lights on the stern of the tow.

I hope this helps.
