Sec. 84.09  Screens.



    (a) The sidelights of vessels of 20 meters or more in length shall 

be fitted with mat black inboard screens and meet the requirements of 

Sec. 84.17. On vessels of less than 20 meters in length, the 

sidelights, if necessary to meet the requirements of Sec. 84.17, shall 

be fitted with mat black inboard screens. With a combined lantern, using 

a single vertical filament and a very narrow division between the green 

and red sections, external screens need not be fitted.

    (b) On power-driven vessels less than 12 meters in length 

constructed after July 31, 1983, the masthead light, or the all-round 

light described in Rule 23(c) shall be screened to prevent direct 

illumination of the vessel forward of the operator's position.
