Your tow contains a barge carrying carbon tetrachloride. What is NOT required?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Certificated tankerman on towboat. The reason for this is that the requirement for a certificated tankerman only applies when the cargo being transported is a hazardous material, such as certain chemicals or fuels. Carbon tetrachloride is considered a hazardous material, so a certificated tankerman would not be required on the towboat. The other options are required regardless of the cargo type: A) Cargo warning signs on the barge, B) Cargo information card in the pilothouse, and D) Cargo information card on the barge.
