Question 2678 Deck General
70% to passYou are the operator of a 290 GRT uninspected towing vessel whose construction was contracted for after August 27, 2003. Which type of semi-portable fire extinguishing system is required on your vessel?
A
B-III
B
B-V
C
B-IV
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) B-V. According to the regulations for uninspected towing vessels, vessels constructed after August 27, 2003 with a gross tonnage of 290 GRT are required to have a B-V semi-portable fire extinguishing system. The B-V system is larger and more capable than the smaller B-III or B-IV systems, meeting the increased fire safety requirements for newer, larger towing vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific requirements for the vessel size and construction date provided in the question.
