Question 1116 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Midpoint of the vessel or 100 feet from the engine. The reasoning for this is based on the Coast Guard regulations for tank barges equipped with internal-combustion engine-driven cargo pumps on the weather deck. These regulations require that at least one remote manual shutdown station be provided, and this station must be located either at the midpoint of the vessel or within 100 feet of the engine. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific location requirements in the regulations. For example, options B and D specify the shutdown station be located at the stern or bow, which is not the correct location per the regulations.
