A starboard beam refers to the side of a ship or boat that is perpendicular to its length and on the right side when facing forward. In nautical terms, "starboard" indicates the right side, while "beam" describes the widest part of the vessel. Therefore, the starboard beam is the area extending outwards from the right side of the ship at its widest point. This term is often used in navigation and maritime communications.

What does it mean when you see only a red and green light on a vessel at night?
Each light on a vessel has a certain viewing angle. The red and green lights have a 22.5 degree arc abaft the beam to the bows viewing angle and indicate whether you are in front of, left (Port) or right (Starboard) side to the vessel. If you saw just the red and green lights at the same time you would have been directly in front of the vessel since these lights are not visible from the stern. you should have noticed the main mast light also which is visible from 22.5 degrees abaft the beam starboard to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam port. If you didn't see the main light and port and starboard lamps you were directly in front of the vessel and somebody needed to change the main light bulb either that or you were in collision and sank before you noticed it.
