On a cargo vessels which fire extinguisher is considered semi-portable?

A B-III
B C-II
C A-II
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) B-III. The B-III fire extinguisher is considered a semi-portable fire extinguisher on cargo vessels. This is because the B-III extinguisher is a larger, wheeled unit that can be moved around the vessel but is not easily portable like a handheld extinguisher. The B-III extinguisher has a larger capacity (usually 30-40 lbs) compared to the smaller, handheld A-II and C-II extinguishers, making it semi-portable in nature. The other options are incorrect because A-II and C-II extinguishers are considered portable, not semi-portable, and "All of the above" is not the correct answer since only the B-III extinguisher fits the semi-portable description.
