Question 795Deck General70% to pass
On a manned vessel carrying packaged hazardous cargo, the hazardous materials shall be inspected _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
The regulations governing the transportation of hazardous materials on vessels require that the hazardous cargo be inspected:
1) Prior to entry into a U.S. port, to ensure the cargo is properly stowed and secured.
2) Every 24 hours, unless the vessel is equipped with a fire detection system, in which case the inspection can be less frequent.
3) After the stowage of the hazardous cargo is complete, to verify it was done properly.
The other options are incorrect because they do not cover all the required inspection points. The regulations mandate that all three of these inspections be conducted to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials on a manned vessel.
