Question 3392Deck General70% to pass
In securing deck loads for an ocean tow, drill pipe should be _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) provided with bulwarks at both ends of their bays.
The reasoning for this is that according to regulations, drill pipe and similar cylindrical cargo on deck must be secured with bulwarks or other means to prevent them from rolling or shifting during the ocean tow. This is a safety requirement to ensure the cargo remains stable and does not pose a risk to the vessel or crew. The other answer choices, such as limiting the height or requiring galvanization, are not specific regulatory requirements for securing drill pipe on an ocean tow.
