You are in a channel in U.S. waters near an industrial plant with a load/discharge facility for barges. You see an emergency rotating flashing light on the facility light up. What does this indicate?

Correct Answer: Option B — There is danger at the facility due to a fire or cargo release.

U.S. Coast Guard marine environmental protection regulations mandate that bulk liquid facilities utilize a rotating flashing amber light to indicate an emergency condition, specifically a fire, spill, or uncontrolled cargo release during transfer operations.
