Question 414Deck General70% to pass
You are on a multiple-product chemical tanker and will carry cargoes of ethanolamine, methyl acrylate, and glycerine. Which statement is true?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Glycerine is compatible with both of the other cargoes.
The key is that glycerine is generally considered a compatible cargo and can be stowed adjacent to both ethanolamine and methyl acrylate without any special segregation requirements. Ethanolamine and methyl acrylate may have incompatibilities that require segregation, but glycerine does not have any known incompatibilities with these two products. Therefore, option A is the correct statement.
The other options are incorrect because they either overstate the incompatibility issues (option C) or incorrectly identify the segregation requirements for these cargoes (options B and D).
