Question 1044 Deck General

The correct answer is B) it is from the open deck. The access to a cargo pump room on a tank vessel carrying grades A, B, C or D liquid cargoes must be from the open deck. This requirement is specified in the regulations for tank vessels under 46 CFR 32.55-10, which states that the access to the cargo pump room must be from the open deck. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirements. Option A is incorrect as the distance from the galleys, living quarters or navigation spaces is not a requirement for the cargo pump room access. Option C is incorrect as the access is not required to be from areas equipped with power ventilation systems. Option D is incorrect as the cargo pump room access is not required to be isolated from sources of vapor ignition.
