Definition
Where the length of the tow, measured from the stern of the towing vessel to the after end of the tow, exceeds 200 metres, both the towing vessel and the vessel or object being towed exhibit a black diamond shape where it can best be seen. By night the towing vessel shows three masthead lights in a vertical line instead of two. The signal warns of a long, low and often almost invisible towline.
