Question 365Deck General70% to pass
The galley on your cargo vessel has an area of 2,900 square feet. What will fulfill the requirements for fire protection?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) One B-II and one C-II extinguisher.
The reason this is the correct answer is that the USCG regulations require a galley (cooking area) with an area greater than 500 square feet to be equipped with at least one B-II and one C-II fire extinguisher. This is specified in 46 CFR 34.50-5(a), which outlines the requirements for fire extinguishing equipment on cargo vessels.
The other options are incorrect because a single B-I extinguisher (A) would not be sufficient for a galley of this size, a single B-II extinguisher (B) would also be inadequate, and a single B-V extinguisher (D) is not the required combination for a galley of this size.
