Question 511Deck General70% to pass
Cargo that gives off fumes that may contaminate other cargo is known as a(n) _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) odorous cargo.
Cargo that gives off fumes that may contaminate other cargo is known as odorous cargo. This term is used in the context of cargo handling and stowage regulations for vessels, including those that carry a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's Licensed crew. Odorous cargo must be stored and transported in a way that prevents the fumes from affecting other cargo, to avoid contamination and potential damage.
The other options are incorrect because: A) delicate cargo refers to cargo that requires special handling to prevent damage, C) dirty cargo refers to cargo that may soil or stain other cargo, and D) toxic cargo refers to cargo that is hazardous or poisonous, which is a different category from odorous cargo.
