What is the minimum number of portable B-II fire extinguishers required in the machinery space of a 199 GT uninspected motor towing vessel of 8000 B.H.P.?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 6 portable B-II fire extinguishers.
According to the applicable regulations, for uninspected motor towing vessels of 199 GT or less, the machinery space requires a minimum of 6 portable B-II fire extinguishers. This is based on the vessel's gross tonnage and horsepower, which together determine the fire protection requirements. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not meet the regulatory minimum of 6 B-II extinguishers for this size and type of vessel.
