Question 1432Deck General70% to pass
You are berthed at a cargo facility where you have just completed discharging a dangerous cargo from your barge. You must complete topside repairs on the barge involving hot- work before sailing. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The facility operator must notify the Captain of the Port before conducting welding or hot-work.
This is because the Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR 154.1200) requires that the facility operator notify the Captain of the Port before performing any hot-work, such as welding, on or near a barge that has contained dangerous cargo. This is to ensure proper safety precautions are in place before commencing any potentially hazardous activities.
The other options are incorrect - A) is too broad, as hot-work may be allowed with proper notification; C) is not required by regulation; and D) would not be permitted, as the hot-work requires approval from the facility and the Coast Guard, regardless of the cargo status.
