Question 773 Deck Safety
70% to passIn a fixed CO2 extinguishing system where provision is made for the release of CO2 by operation of a remote control, provision shall also be made for releasing the CO2 _______________.
A
from inside the engine room
B
from the cargo control station
C
at the cylinder location
D
from the bridge
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) at the cylinder location. According to the regulations for fixed CO2 extinguishing systems, there must be a provision to release the CO2 from the cylinder location. This allows the system to be manually activated at the source, in addition to any remote controls, to provide a backup means of activation in case the remote controls fail or are inaccessible. The other options are incorrect because A) the engine room is not the proper location for releasing the CO2, B) the cargo control station is not the designated location, and D) the bridge is also not the proper location for manual CO2 release.
