How many type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers are required in the machinery space of an uninspected motor vessel with 1,400 BHP?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 2 type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers are required in the machinery space of an uninspected motor vessel with 1,400 BHP.
The reasoning is based on the requirements for uninspected vessels outlined in 46 CFR 25.30-10. For an uninspected motor vessel with an engine of 1,400 BHP, the regulation requires a minimum of 2 type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers to be located in the machinery space.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirement for this vessel size and type. For example, 3, 4, or 5 extinguishers would exceed the minimum standard set forth in the regulations.
