Question 2283 Deck General

70% to pass

On an uninspected vessel which sizes of fire extinguishers are considered to be semi-portable?

A I, II, III, IV, and V
B I, II, and III only
C II, III, and IV only
D III, IV, and V only
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) III, IV, and V only. Semi-portable fire extinguishers, as defined by the US Coast Guard, are sizes III, IV, and V. These extinguishers are larger than the handheld (portable) size I and II extinguishers, but smaller and more manageable than the fixed, mounted size V extinguishers. The semi-portable designation indicates they can be moved around the vessel as needed, but are not easily carried by a single person like the smaller portable extinguishers. The other answer choices are incorrect because they either include sizes that are not considered semi-portable (A and B), or exclude sizes that are semi-portable (C).
