70% to pass

The sign used to caution persons approaching the gangway of a tank barge during cargo transfer reads _______________.

A "Warning, Keep Off, Stay Clear"
B "Warning, No Smoking, No Open Lights, No Visitors"
C "Danger, Do Not Board"
D "Dangerous Cargo Being Transferred"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) "Warning, No Smoking, No Open Lights, No Visitors". This is the correct answer because the sign used to caution persons approaching the gangway of a tank barge during cargo transfer is required to display this specific warning message, as per the regulations in 46 CFR 35.30-10. The regulations state that this sign must be posted to alert people of the potential fire and explosion hazards associated with the transfer of flammable or combustible cargoes. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not specifically match the regulatory requirement for the signage on a tank barge during cargo transfer operations.
