A) Group Flashing (2+1) is not a standard light characteristic for a port hand mark.
B) Continuous Bright (B) is also not a standard light characteristic for a port hand mark.
C) Isophase (C) is not a standard light characteristic for a port hand mark.
D) Morse Code (D) is not a standard light characteristic for a port hand mark.
