Question 1521Deck General70% to pass
You have berthed in a port area with other tank vessels. What signal is displayed by a vessel to indicate it is transferring flammable or combustible liquid cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A red light visible all around the horizon.
This is the correct answer because the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations require vessels transferring flammable or combustible liquid cargo to display a red light visible all around the horizon as a signal to other vessels in the area. This red light serves as a visual warning of the potentially hazardous cargo operations taking place, allowing other vessels to take appropriate precautions.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the SOLAS regulations for this specific situation. A flashing yellow light, a green light, or an illuminated red and yellow caution flag are not the required signal for a vessel transferring flammable or combustible liquid cargo.
