70% to pass

Remote controls for quick-closing shut off valves are required in how many location(s)?

A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2 locations. According to the regulations for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, remote controls for quick-closing shut-off valves are required in two locations: the main control station and a secondary remote control station. This redundancy ensures that the fuel supply can be quickly shut off in an emergency from more than one location on the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirement for two remote control locations. 1, 3, or 4 locations would not satisfy the Coast Guard's safety standards for this critical system.
