Question 261Deck General70% to pass
You are to load styrene in bulk, which is subject to self-polymerization. In accordance with 46 CFR Table 153 what are you required to do?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Be furnished with a Certificate of Inhibition to be maintained on the bridge.
According to 46 CFR Table 153, styrene is a cargo that is subject to self-polymerization. To safely transport this cargo, the regulations require the vessel to be furnished with a Certificate of Inhibition that must be maintained on the bridge. This certificate ensures that the proper inhibitor has been added to the styrene cargo to prevent self-polymerization during the voyage.
The other options are incorrect because they do not address the specific requirement for a Certificate of Inhibition. Padding the ullage with nitrogen, using heating coils, or not carrying other cargoes in surrounding tanks are not the primary regulatory requirements for transporting self-polymerizing cargoes like styrene.
