70% to passAn LNG carrier has an approved type of gas detecting system to detect methane leaks in the _______________.
Acargo handling rooms
Bbarrier spaces
Cboiler burner supply piping
Dall of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. LNG carriers are required to have approved gas detecting systems to monitor for methane leaks in multiple areas of the vessel, including the cargo handling rooms, barrier spaces, and boiler burner supply piping. This is mandated by the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code), which specifies the safety requirements for LNG carriers. The other options are incorrect because the gas detecting system must be installed in all of the listed areas to comply with the IGC Code regulations and ensure comprehensive leak detection throughout the vessel.
