Question 1047 Deck General
70% to passYou are underway with a tow consisting of six barges containing hazardous chemicals. Which statement is FALSE concerning a cargo information card?
A
It must be carried in the pilothouse, readily available for each chemical carried.
B
It must be posted on the lead barge of the tow only.
C
It contains information on procedure for spills or leaks.
D
It must be posted on each barge on the tow.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) It must be posted on the lead barge of the tow only. The reasoning is that under US Coast Guard regulations, a cargo information card containing details on the hazardous chemicals must be readily available for each chemical carried, and it must be posted on each individual barge in the tow, not just the lead barge. Options A, C, and D are all correct statements, but option B is false because the cargo information card is required to be posted on each barge, not just the lead barge.
