Question 1146Deck General70% to pass
Your tow includes a loaded chlorine barge. After inspecting the tow, the mate reports that he hears a hissing sound coming from the safety valves. Where will you find information on emergency procedures concerning the uncontrolled release of cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Cargo Information Card on your towboat.
The Cargo Information Card on the towboat would contain the emergency procedures to be followed in case of an uncontrolled release of the cargo, such as the chlorine barge in this scenario. This card provides critical information about the cargo and the appropriate actions to take in an emergency situation.
The other options are incorrect because: A) Dangerous Cargo Regulations would provide general guidelines, but not the specific emergency procedures for this particular cargo; B) The Barge's Certificate of Inspection would not contain the emergency procedures; and D) The Cargo Manifest or loading papers would not have the detailed emergency information needed to respond to the situation.
