Question 700Deck General70% to pass
You are ordering ship's stores. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D.
The reasoning behind this is that flammable liquids, such as portable containers of fuel for auxiliary equipment, must be stowed in a designated safe location to minimize the risk of fire hazards. Specifically, they should be kept in a paint locker or at an open location designated for this purpose, rather than in the general ship's storeroom.
The other options are incorrect because: A) Underwriter's Laboratories does not certify stores for use on uninspected vessels; B) Acetylene is limited to 1000 cubic feet per the regulations; and C) while fire retardant treatment is required for certain stores, this is not a universal requirement.
