Question 2399Deck General70% to pass
Your vessel is carrying 24,000 barrels of oil for discharge. The cargo hoses have an inside diameter of eight inches. The container around the loading manifold must hold _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) three barrels.
The reasoning is based on the requirement for containment around the loading manifold. According to regulations, the containment area must be able to hold the capacity of the largest cargo hose connected to the manifold. Since the cargo hoses have an inside diameter of 8 inches, the volume of one barrel is approximately 31.5 gallons. Therefore, the containment area must be able to hold at least 3 barrels (94.5 gallons) to comply with the regulations.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the required containment capacity based on the given hose diameter.
