Regulations require that cargo pump rooms handling grades D and/or E liquid cargo only shall be fitted with at LEAST how many ducts extended to the weather deck?

A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 2. According to the regulations, cargo pump rooms handling grades D and/or E liquid cargo must be fitted with at least two ducts extended to the weather deck. This requirement ensures adequate ventilation and air circulation within the pump room to maintain a safe environment for handling these types of liquid cargo. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum requirement set by the regulations. One duct (A) would be insufficient, and three or four ducts (C and D) would exceed the minimum specification.
