Question 1045Deck General70% to pass
On a vessel, constructed after 1970, carrying grades A, B, C or D cargoes, what can NOT segregate enclosed spaces where sources of vapor ignition are normally present from cargo tanks?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) galleys.
Vessels carrying grades A, B, C, or D cargoes (flammable or combustible liquids) are required to have cargo spaces segregated from enclosed spaces where sources of vapor ignition are normally present, such as machinery spaces, workshops, and accommodation spaces. Galleys, which contain ignition sources like stoves and ovens, cannot be used to segregate these cargo spaces. However, tanks used to carry liquids with a flash point of 150°F or above (B), pump rooms (C), and cofferdams (D) can be used to provide the necessary segregation.
