Question 338Deck General70% to pass

You are on a containership. Which statement about the stowage of hazardous materials in containers is TRUE?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A refrigerated container with a fuel tank containing a flammable liquid must be stowed on deck. This is correct because flammable liquids, such as the fuel in a refrigerated container, must be stowed on the open deck of a containership to reduce the risk of fire or explosion. Stowing such hazardous materials below deck in an enclosed container would be unsafe. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the proper stowage requirements for hazardous materials on a containership.
