USCG-ROR-L3.2

Towing and pushing (Rule 24)

USCG-ROR-M3 · Lights, shapes and sound signals · USCG-ROR-M3-A Power-driven, towing and pushing, special vessels, anchored barges and restricted-visibility signals: every Inland difference.

Inland towboats push, and the Inland rule shows it: **two yellow towing lights aft**, a **special flashing light** at the head of the tow, and on the Western Rivers no masthead lights at all.
