During cargo transfer on an unmanned tank barge, how many portable fire extinguishers are required in the cargo tank area, if the barge has no cargo pumps of her own?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) One portable fire extinguisher is required in the cargo tank area during cargo transfer on an unmanned tank barge that has no cargo pumps of her own.
This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 39.10-5, which states that for an unmanned tank barge without cargo pumps, at least one Coast Guard-approved, portable fire extinguisher must be placed in the cargo tank area during cargo transfer operations.
The other answer options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. Options B, C, and D would not meet the minimum fire safety standard for an unmanned tank barge without cargo pumps during cargo transfer.
