Question 695 Deck General
70% to passYou are on a multiple-product chemical tanker and will carry cargoes of isophorone, ethylenediamine, and creosote. Which of the following is TRUE?
A
All of these cargoes are compatible.
B
All of these cargoes are incompatible.
C
Ethylenediamine is compatible with isophorone but both are incompatible with creosote.
D
Isophorone is incompatible with ethylenediamine but may be stowed adjacent to creosote.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) All of these cargoes are compatible. The reasoning is that isophorone, ethylenediamine, and creosote are all considered general chemical cargoes that are typically compatible for stowage on a chemical tanker. There are no major incompatibility issues between these three specific cargoes, so they can be safely transported together on the same vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they either state that the cargoes are incompatible when they are not, or they suggest restrictions on stowage that are not necessary for these particular chemicals.
