Question 1081 Deck General
70% to passYour tow includes a barge carrying chlorine. Which special requirements must be observed?
The correct answer is B) A cargo information card for chlorine must be in the pilothouse. This is correct because when transporting dangerous cargo like chlorine, US Coast Guard regulations require the operator to have a cargo information card readily available in the pilothouse. This card contains critical safety information about the hazardous material, which is essential for the crew to access in case of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent a specific regulatory requirement for transporting chlorine. While posting a deckhand or keeping the wing voids closed may be good safety practices, they are not mandated by regulations in the same way as having the cargo information card on hand.
