Question 1196Deck General70% to pass
How many fire extinguishers, and what type, are required on an unmanned oil barge during transfer operations, if the barge has no cargo pumps aboard?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) One B-II.
According to the regulations, an unmanned oil barge during transfer operations, if the barge has no cargo pumps aboard, is required to have one B-II fire extinguisher. This is specified in 46 CFR 39.10-5(a), which states that unmanned barges without cargo pumps must have at least one B-II fire extinguisher on board during transfer operations.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement. Option A) Two B-II is too many, option B) One B-V is the wrong type, and option D) Two A-II is also the wrong type.
