    The document discusses the arcs of visibility for various navigation lights on vessels. Working lights have an arc of visibility of 360 degrees. Masthead lights and towing lights have an arc of 225 degrees. Sidelights each have an arc of 112.5 degrees and sternlights have an arc of 135 degrees. A masthead light's arc of visibility starts 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on the port side and extends through the stem to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on the starboard side. A sidelight's arc of visibility extends from the vessel's centerline forward to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam.
