Vessel Requiring a Pilot

[Barnacle Bill]

I've just put this enquiry on the Scuttlebutt forum, but it's probably more applicable to motor boats:

I have just received a question from someone in India, and I wonder if someone can answer it - I've said I'll get back to him.

Here's the question:

i have a doubt which i am sure you would be able to clear and which is..."what signal (day and night) is displayed by a vessel which REQUIRE a pilot"..as much as i know during day time INTERCO flag "G" which means " i require a pilot" would be displayed but how to substitute this signal at night using lights OR what lights should be displayed by a vessel requiring a pilot" i am desperatly looking for the answer of this question and i request you to kindly help me.​

Is there a light signal to indicate that a vessel requires a pilot? I can find no mention of it in the COLREG, but might it be in another convention?
