Flashing orange is, I think, air cushion vehicle, and alternating flashing vertical oranges are purse seining/ring netting.

This always happens. A new member picks up on an ancient thread. Why is that?
Mind you most don't come into the thread like Hitler on a bad day...

Pete the regs have not changed in the last 6 or even 12 years a FLASHING red light has never been a regulated light on any ship! As per US or any other countries regs

We are talking about red flashing lights not amber and an amber flashing light would be on the bow of a barge being pushed ahead or along side a special flashing amber light is on an air cushion vessel or may but not shall, and as you know the wording is everything! May be on a sub partly submerged and on a pipeline being towed

It does matter if the yatch is taking on fuel then it needs to have a solid red light!
Dangerous cargo can be a strange thing wood aka dunage used to block things in a cargo hold is a dangerous cargo because as it decomposes it releases a combustable gas!
Also someone said something about POSH it means simply Port Out Starboard home! From way back when the earth was flat lol
Just like **** means Ship High In Transit because it too is a hazardous cargo again as it decomposes it releases gas and an open flame or spark and BOOM !

I think you are really going to fit in round here - can you access The Lounge yet? :encouragement:
Presumably because you quote USCG rules you are American, I would just point out that in that case the title "Captain" is generally regarded with some amusement round these parts...

So you are saying "they don't make a ship you can capt." Is that actually a claim to fame or has something been lost in the translation to English?
Hang on, I've got it, you are Barbados Skipper V - you are even answering your own posts again - and I claim my £5... :encouragement:

The fuel ships that come into the Cattewater at Plymouth to unload use the flashing red, I'm looking at it right now :sleeping:
