Question 1243 Deck General
70% to passEvery U.S. crude oil tankship with a keel laying date on or after 1/1/75, shall be equipped with an inert gas system if the tonnage is more than _______________.
A
100,000 DWT (metric tons)
B
50,000 DWT (metric tons)
C
50,000 DWT (long tons)
D
100,000 DWT (long tons)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 100,000 DWT (metric tons). This is based on the regulation in 46 CFR 32.53-1, which states that every U.S. crude oil tankship with a keel laying date on or after January 1, 1975, shall be equipped with an inert gas system if the tonnage is more than 100,000 DWT (deadweight tons) in metric tons. The other options are incorrect because 50,000 DWT is below the regulatory threshold, and DWT is measured in metric tons, not long tons.
