70% to pass

Either one approved B-V semi-portable fire-extinguishing system or a fixed fire- extinguishing system is required to protect the engine room on uninspected towing vessels whose construction was contracted for before what date?

A April 29, 2005
B April 29, 2004
C February 1, 2002
D August 27, 2003
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) August 27, 2003. According to the regulations, uninspected towing vessels whose construction was contracted for before August 27, 2003 are required to have either one approved B-V semi-portable fire-extinguishing system or a fixed fire-extinguishing system to protect the engine room. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under 46 CFR 27.201. The other answer choices are incorrect because April 29, 2005 and April 29, 2004 are later dates than the specified cutoff of August 27, 2003, and February 1, 2002 is an earlier date that does not match the regulation.
