What is the minimum number of Type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers required to be aboard a 3,000 BHP, 99 GT uninspected harbor tug?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 5 Type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers.
According to the regulations for uninspected vessels, a 3,000 BHP, 99 GT harbor tug is required to have a minimum of 5 Type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers. This is based on the vessel's size, horsepower, and gross tonnage, which determine the required number and type of fire extinguishers per the Coast Guard regulations.
The other options are incorrect because 2 extinguishers (A) would be insufficient, and 3 (B) or 6 (D) would not meet the minimum requirement for a vessel of this size and power.
