Question 2265 Deck General
70% to passWhich type of fixed fire-extinguishing system is approved for use on board uninspected vessels?
The correct answer is C) Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishing systems are the type of fixed fire-extinguishing system approved for use on board uninspected vessels. This is because CO2 systems are effective at extinguishing fires without leaving behind any residue, making them suitable for use on smaller, uninspected vessels where access and cleanup may be more challenging. The other options, chemical foam (A) and steam smothering (B), are not typically approved for use on uninspected vessels, as they may be less practical or effective in the confined spaces and limited access of smaller boat environments.
