Question 1579 Deck General
70% to pass46 CFR directs the location of fuel oil sounding tubes and access openings for fuel oil tanks on cargo vessels. Where can the tubes be located?
A
Cargo holds
B
Laundries
C
Crew lounge
D
Washrooms
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Cargo holds. According to 46 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), fuel oil sounding tubes and access openings for fuel oil tanks on cargo vessels must be located in the cargo holds, not in the laundries, crew lounges, or washrooms. This regulation is in place to ensure easy access and monitoring of the fuel oil tanks, which are an essential part of the vessel's machinery and propulsion system. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because those locations would not provide the necessary access and visibility required by the regulations.
