What is the minimum visibility of all lights on a vessel of 12m or more in length but less than 50m in length?

For vessels that are 12 meters or more but less than 50 meters in length, the minimum visibility for all lights is indeed established at 2 miles. This regulation is in accordance with the COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea), particularly under the requirements for navigation lights that ensure visibility and safety at sea.

The 2-mile visibility helps ensure that other vessels can see the navigation lights from a reasonable distance, which is crucial for avoiding collisions at sea, especially during low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or nighttime. Each type of vessel and its lighting display has specific visibility requirements to enhance the overall safety of maritime navigation.

Understanding these requirements is essential for ensuring compliance and maintaining safety while operating a vessel.
