In addition to obstruction lights, the tallest platform of a deepwater port must have a lit rotating beacon that distinguishes the deepwater port from other surrounding offshore structures. The beacon must:
(a)
Have an effective intensity of at least 15,000 candela;
(b)
Flash at least once every 20 seconds;
(c)
Provide a white light signal;
(d)
Operate in wind speeds of up to 100 knots at a rotation rate that is within 6 percent of the operating speed displayed on the beacon;
(e)
Have one or more leveling indicators permanently attached to the light, each with an accuracy of ±0.25 ° or better; and
(1)
At least 60 feet (about 18.3 meters) above mean high water;
(2)
Where the structure of the platform, or equipment mounted on the platform, does not obstruct the light in any direction; and
(3)
So that it is visible all around the horizon.
