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 C — There is danger at the facility due to a fire or cargo release.

Marine transfer facility safety standards require an emergency siren or a rotating flashing amber/red light to warn passing traffic of immediate hazards, structural emergencies, fires, or uncontrolled cargo releases occurring at the facility.
