Question 1689Deck Safety70% to pass
On a tankship, sanitary inspections of the crew's quarters are the responsibility of the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Master and Chief Engineer.
On a tankship, the responsibility for conducting sanitary inspections of the crew's quarters lies with the Master and the Chief Engineer. This is because the Chief Engineer is responsible for the overall maintenance and cleanliness of the vessel, including the crew's living spaces. The Master, as the overall in-charge of the ship, has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the crew's quarters meet the required sanitary standards.
The other options are incorrect because the union delegate (A) does not have any formal responsibility for conducting such inspections, and the Chief Mate (B) and Second Mate (D) are not directly responsible for the crew's living quarters, which falls under the purview of the Chief Engineer.
