Rigid composite pushing unit

Rule 24: a composite unit uses the power-driven-vessel display, not the ordinary pushing or towing pattern.

When a pushing vessel and vessel being pushed are rigidly connected into a composite unit, they are treated as a power-driven vessel, not as an ordinary pushing/towing light pattern.
