White over Red indicates which situation?

Explanation:
Day shapes convey a vessel’s status in daylight, and the white-over-red signal is a specific indication about pilots. The two shapes stacked vertically—white on top, red below—mean that a local pilot is aboard or is about to board and is ahead in guiding the vessel through the passage. Other vessels seeing this signal should give way and be prepared to follow the pilot’s instructions as you enter or leave a harbor with a pilot station. This signal is distinct from signals used for mine clearance or for fishing at night, which use different indicators.
