Question 129Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
As an engineer on a tanker of more than 1600 gross tons on an international voyage, how would you direct the fire team to combat a large cargo space fire?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Use fixed water and foam systems to extinguish the fire.
The reasoning is that for a large cargo space fire on a tanker over 1600 gross tons on an international voyage, the fixed water and foam systems are the appropriate method to combat the fire. These systems are specifically designed to rapidly extinguish fires in cargo spaces through the application of large volumes of water and foam. The other options, such as using a carbon dioxide system or inert gas system, would not be as effective for a large cargo fire of this nature.
