Question 1005Deck General70% to pass
Regulations require that cargo pump rooms handling grades D and/or E liquid cargo only shall be fitted with at LEAST how many ducts extended to the weather deck?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2.
Regulations require that cargo pump rooms handling grades D and/or E liquid cargo only shall be fitted with at least two ducts extended to the weather deck. This is stated in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, which govern the design and operation of cargo ships, including requirements for ventilation systems in cargo pump rooms.
The other options are incorrect because 1 duct would not provide sufficient ventilation, 3 ducts are not the minimum requirement, and 4 ducts exceed the minimum requirement specified in the regulations.
