A very large crude carrier is scheduled to depart of the Port of Long Beach, CA at 0800 on June 28th on a voyage to exceed 48 hours. What is the EARLIEST time that the communication means between the wheelhouse and the engine control room could be tested prior to getting underway and be in compliance with the tank vessel regulations of 46 CFR?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 2000 June 27th.
The tank vessel regulations in 46 CFR require the communication means between the wheelhouse and the engine control room to be tested no more than 12 hours prior to getting underway on a voyage exceeding 48 hours. Since the vessel is scheduled to depart at 0800 on June 28th, the earliest time the communication means could be tested is 2000 on June 27th, which is 12 hours before the scheduled departure.
The other options are incorrect because A) 0800 June 27th is more than 12 hours before departure, B) 1400 June 27th is less than 12 hours before departure, and D) 0200 June 28th is after the vessel has already departed.
