A vessel constrained by her draught may, in addition to the lights prescribed for power-driven vessels in Rule 23, exhibit where they can best be seen three all-round red lights in a vertical line, or a cylinder.

Rule 3(h) gives the definition of a vessel constrained by her draught: “A power-driven vessel which because of her draught in relation to the available depth of water is severely restricted in her ability to deviate from the course she is following”

Important remark Vessels constrained by their draught do not have a absolute priority over other vessels (See also comment on Rule 18 (d)). However, vessels navigating in their vicinity should, as far as possible, avoid impeding their passage.
