Question 2611 Deck General

The correct answer is C) forepeak tank. Vessels greater than 400 gross tons are not permitted to carry oil or hazardous materials in a forepeak tank. This is because the forepeak tank is located at the front of the vessel, and a spill or leak from this tank could pose a significant environmental risk. Regulations require that oil and hazardous materials be stored in more secure locations, such as deep tanks or on-deck portable tanks, to minimize the potential for spills and accidents. The other options (deep tank, after peak tank, and on-deck portable tank) are incorrect because they are permitted locations for storing oil and hazardous materials on vessels greater than 400 gross tons, provided they meet the appropriate safety and containment requirements.
