70% to passThe most likely location for a liquid cargo fire to occur on a tanker would be _______________.
Ain the amidships house
Bat the main deck manifold
Cat the vent header
Din the pump room
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) in the pump room. The pump room on a tanker is the most likely location for a liquid cargo fire to occur because it contains the cargo pumps and associated piping. This equipment can potentially leak or fail, allowing flammable cargo vapors to accumulate in the pump room, creating a high risk of fire or explosion. The other locations listed, such as the amidships house or the main deck manifold, do not typically have the same concentration of cargo handling equipment and thus present a lower fire risk.
