Question 311 Deck General
70% to passYou are transporting dangerous cargo on your vessel. You must inspect this cargo _______________.
A
daily
B
after encountering rough weather
C
daily, at sea only
D
after loading and prior to arrival in port only
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) daily. The U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that dangerous cargo be inspected daily, regardless of whether the vessel is at sea or in port. This is to ensure the cargo is properly secured and there are no leaks or other issues that could pose a safety risk. The other options are incorrect because: B) inspecting only after rough weather is not frequent enough, C) inspecting only at sea is too limited in scope, and D) inspecting only during loading/unloading does not cover the entire voyage.
