What is NOT a responsibility of the tankerman in charge of loading an unmanned tank barge?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Insuring that a combustible gas indicator is aboard.
The responsibility of the tankerman in charge of loading an unmanned tank barge does not include ensuring that a combustible gas indicator is aboard. This is typically the responsibility of the barge owner or operator, not the tankerman. The tankerman's responsibilities focus on tasks like enforcing smoking restrictions (A), protecting cargo hoses with chafing gear (B), and restricting vessels from coming alongside the barge (C) to ensure safe loading operations. The tankerman is not responsible for the specific equipment aboard the barge.
