70% to pass

According to U.S. regulations, access to a cargo pumproom in a tank vessel carrying grades C or D liquid cargo must be which of the following?

A only from enclosed areas free from sources of vapor ignition
B from within the vessel
C from areas equipped with power ventilation
D from the open deck
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D. According to U.S. regulations, access to a cargo pumproom in a tank vessel carrying grades C or D liquid cargo must be from the open deck. This is because the regulations require that cargo pumprooms handling these types of flammable liquid cargoes must have direct access to the open deck to allow for proper ventilation and to minimize the risk of vapor ignition. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not meet this open-deck access requirement.
