When must vessel operators ensure that their vessels are equipped with the proper navigation lights?

Only during periods of restricted visibility
When away from the dock between sunset and sunrise
At all times during daylight hours
Only when directed by local authorities

The correct answer is: When away from the dock between sunset and sunrise

Vessel operators must ensure that their vessels are equipped with the proper navigation lights when away from the dock between sunset and sunrise. This is because these lights are necessary for safe navigation in low visibility conditions, such as at night or during periods of restricted visibility. Option A is incorrect because navigation lights should be used at all times during periods of restricted visibility and not just when directed by local authorities. Option C is incorrect because navigation lights are not just necessary during daylight hours but also during periods of low visibility. Option D is incorrect because local authorities may not always direct vessel operators to use navigation lights and it is the responsibility of the operator to ensure their vessel is equipped with them at all times when away from the dock.
