Question 1006 Deck General

The correct answer is B) from the open deck. The reasoning for this is that the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires that for tank vessels carrying grades C or D liquid cargo, the access to the cargo pump room must be from the open deck. This is to ensure that any potential vapor or gas leaks from the cargo pump room are vented directly to the atmosphere, reducing the risk of ignition or explosion. The other options, such as access from enclosed areas, areas with power ventilation, or from within the vessel, do not meet the safety requirements specified in the regulations for this type of cargo.
