A vessel displaying sidelights, a sternlight, and two all-round lights in a vertical line is typically a power-driven vessel that is 50 meters or more in length. The two all-round lights indicate that it is engaged in fishing or another specific activity, such as towing or dredging. This configuration helps other vessels identify its activities and navigate safely around it.
