Question 1923 Deck General

The correct answer is A) None are required. The reasoning is that the regulations do not require portable fire extinguishers to be located inside the machinery space of a small passenger vessel. The machinery space is generally considered a high-risk area, so fire extinguishers are typically required to be located in close proximity to the machinery space, but not necessarily inside it. This is to ensure that the fire extinguishers are accessible in case of a fire, while also being protected from potential damage or interference within the machinery space itself. The other options are incorrect because they specify a requirement for a fire extinguisher inside the machinery space, which is not mandated by the regulations for small passenger vessels.
