Sec. 155.790  Deck lighting.

    (a) A self-propelled vessel with a capacity of 250 or more barrels 
of oil or hazardous material that is conducting transfer operations 
between sunset and sunrise must have deck lighting that adequately 
illuminates--
    (1) Each transfer operations work area and each transfer connection 
point in use on the vessel; and
    (2) Each transfer operations work area and each transfer connection 
point in use on each barge, if any, moored to the vessel to or from 
which oil or hazardous material is being transferred;
    (b) Where the illumination is apparently inadequate the OCMI or COTP 
may require verification by instrument of the levels of illumination. On 
a horizontal plane 3 feet above the deck the illumination must measure 
at least:
    (1) 5.0 foot candles at transfer connection points; and
    (2) 1.0 foot candle in transfer operations work areas.
    (c) Lighting must be located or shielded so as not to mislead or 
otherwise interfere with navigation on the adjacent waterways.
