Question

Should sidelights be required on rescue boats/fast rescue boats?

Recommendation

When a fast rescue boat is in the water and manoeuvring at night at speeds in excess of 7 knots the collision regulations require an all-round white light and sidelights, depending on length.

These are to be displayed accordingly.�
