IRPCS Masterclass Rule 29 Pilot Vessels
Summary
TLDRThis video script explains the navigation lights of a pilot vessel. When on pilot duty, it displays a white upper and red lower all-round light vertically, along with side and stern lights. The script illustrates these lights from different perspectives, emphasizing their importance for visibility. When not on pilot duty, the vessel shows lights as a similar-sized ship, highlighting the necessity of proper lighting for maritime safety and communication.
Takeaways
- 🔦 A vessel engaged on pilot duty must exhibit all-round lights in a vertical line at or near the masthead, with the upper light being white and the lower light red.
- 🚢 When underway, the vessel should also display side lights and a stern light.
- ⚓ When at anchor, in addition to the lights prescribed for underway, the vessel should also follow the rules for anchored vessels.
- 🛳️ The lights (white over red) are shown only when the vessel is engaged in pilot duty with another vessel.
- 🌟 A pilot vessel on duty has the white and red all-round lights visible from various angles: port side, starboard side, ahead, and astern.
- 🔴 The red light is always positioned below the white light when the vessel is on pilot duty.
- 🚦 When not engaged in pilotage duty, a pilot vessel should exhibit the lights or shapes prescribed for a similar vessel of its length.
- ⚓ When not on pilot duty, the vessel shows standard lights such as the steaming light or masthead light and side lights.
- 🎯 The white and red all-round lights are specific indicators that the vessel is currently engaged in pilotage duty.
- 📏 The regulations ensure that a pilot vessel is identifiable by its lighting whether it is on duty or not, following standardized maritime rules.

Outlines
🚢 Navigation Lights for Pilot Vessels
This paragraph discusses the specific navigation lights required for a vessel engaged in pilot duty. It explains that such a vessel must exhibit all-round white and red lights vertically aligned near the masthead when underway. Additionally, side lights and a stern light are necessary when at anchor. The script provides a visual description of a pilot-driven vessel from different angles, illustrating the lights in use. It also clarifies that when not on pilot duty, the vessel should display lights or shapes as prescribed for a similar vessel of its length.

A pilot-driven vessel on pilot duty is depicted from the port side, showing two rotating lights.
From the head, the vessel displays both side lights and the two all-round white over red masthead lights.
The rotation continues, showing the starboard side with the same lighting configuration.
From astern, the white and red all-around lights and the stern light are visible.
Part B clarifies that a pilot vessel not engaged on pilotage duty should exhibit lights or shapes prescribed for a similar vessel of its length.
When not on pilot duty, a pilot vessel shows the steaming light or masthead light and port side light.
The lighting rules are crucial for safety and visibility in maritime navigation.
Understanding the specific lighting requirements for pilot vessels is essential for maritime professionals.
The transcript provides a clear distinction between the lighting requirements for vessels on pilot duty versus those not on pilot duty.
Visual examples are given to illustrate the lighting configurations from different perspectives.

Transcripts
a vessel engaged on pilot Duty shall
exhibit at or near the masthead - all
round lights in a vertical line the
upper being white and the lower red when
underway in addition side lights and a
stern light when that anchor in addition
to the lights prescribed in subparagraph
one the light lights or shape prescribed
in rule 34 vessels a tanker so a closer
look at these lights then it's only when
engaged on pilot duty piloted duty with
another vessel that we show the white
and red or round lights so here we have
a pilot driven vessel on pilot duty port
side two and rotating around the vessel
here we see it from a head with both
those side lights and the two all round
white over red masthead lights
continuing that rotation here we are
starboard side two and then finally from
astern where we can see the white and
red all around lights and the stern
light and to confirm what we were saying
earlier part B goes on to say a pilot
vessel when not engaged on pilotage duty
shall exhibit the lights or shakes
prescribed for a similar vessel of her
length so here we are then this is just
simply a pilot vessel not on pilot duty
showing our steaming light or mast head
light and our port side to light
