Question 691Deck General70% to pass

You have orders to load cargoes of carbon disulfide, diisopropylamine and pyridine on your multi-product tankship. Which statement is TRUE?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C: Diisopropylamine must be separated from carbon disulfide by two barriers (cofferdams, voids, empty tanks, etc.). This is because carbon disulfide and diisopropylamine are incompatible cargoes that require a minimum of two barriers to be separated from each other, as per the regulations for the safe carriage of hazardous materials on board ships. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly address the separation requirements for these incompatible cargoes.
