Trawler running lights
« on: February 27, 2011, 08:27:11 pm »

Could anyone help me with trawler lights, the Shrimper/trawler that I am building would be 56ft and I am unsure about the lighting, I'm OK with the stern light and the mast head light but a lot of fishing boats seem to have red and green on the mast, sometimes in pairs as with the Maggie M.
Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.   :-))

Alan P lights on fishing boats as follows - in addition to the navigation lights vessel trawling all round green light above all round white llight
- trawler hauling nets all round white light above all round red light  - trawler shooting nets all round white above all round white.
vessel fishing other than trawling all round red above all round white.
only other fishing boat lights - vessel using a purse seine net flashing yellow light above all round white
- juist thought - pair trawling same as trawlers except both vessels the show a search light forward and towards other vessel
_ I might add when you see these coming straight towards you when you re in a slow moving sailing yacht off the Spanish coast
at night the pucker factor kicks in.
hope this helps

Please see the following site, it may be of some use.

Not sure about how regs apply to Europe, perhaps someone else can advise on this?

Best wishes

Jules the details I gave are out of Reeds skippers Handbook which are taken from the International Rules of the road so they are the European rules

Green over white for moblie fishing, red over white for static gear , to amber lights flashing for pelagic trawl , search lights very seldom get done for pair trawl but remember to be able to do to red over red as well for not under command  standard port and starboard and all round mast head and for a daylight signal to cones with the tips touching in the middle

Red over Red lights with normal nav lights etc, meens net stuck on a bottom obstruction. Not under command lights shown with side lights if  making way and no nav lights if underway ie no propulsion being used.
