Which signal must you display at night on a docked tank barge to show that it is loading or discharging flammable liquid cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Red light.
According to the US Coast Guard regulations, a docked tank barge that is loading or discharging flammable liquid cargo must display a red light at night to indicate this hazardous activity. The red light serves as a visual warning to other vessels in the area to exercise caution when approaching the barge. The other answer choices, such as flashing amber light, two orange lights, or an ICC yellow light, are not the required signal for this situation.
