A sailing vessel under sail at night must exhibit red and green sidelights and an all-round white light when underway. The red light is displayed on the port side, and the green light on the starboard side, while the all-round white light indicates the vessel's presence and helps prevent collisions. This lighting configuration is essential for visibility and safety on the water.
A vessel that is underway but not making way would exhibit sidelights if it is a power-driven vessel or a sailing vessel with a motor. Sidelights consist of a green light on the starboard side and a red light on the port side, indicating the vessel's orientation. Even when not making way, the sidelights serve to signal the vessel's presence and direction to other vessels in the vicinity. Additionally, a vessel at anchor would display an all-round white light instead of sidelights.

A vessel at sea is said to be underway.
Rules of the RoadInternational/InlandLights & shapesRule 23-Power-driven vessels underway(a) A power-driven vessel underway shall exhibit:(i) a Masthead light forward;(ii) a second masthead light abaft of and higher than the forward one; except that a vessel of less than 50 meters in length shall not be obliged to exhibit such a light but may do so;(iii) sidelights; and(iv) a stern light*note on side lights.

Power-driven vessels less than 656 feet (20 meters) long must exhibit both a red light and a green light when underway between sunset and sunrise, in addition to the all-round white light. The red light should be on the vessel's port side, and the green light should be on the vessel's starboard side.
None. A vessel underway under normal conditions does not need to make any sound signal.If the vessel ceases to make way it still does not make a sound signal unless special circumstances apply.
