70% to pass

An uninspected 6,000 BHP, 199 GT tug operating on the Great Lakes is required to carry how many B-II extinguishers?

A 2
B 3
C 6
D 9
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 9 B-II extinguishers. According to the regulations, an uninspected vessel over 200 gross tons operating on the Great Lakes is required to carry 3 B-II fire extinguishers per 2,000 BHP. Since the tug in question is 6,000 BHP and 199 GT, it must carry 9 B-II extinguishers (3 extinguishers per 2,000 BHP, for a total of 9 extinguishers). The other options are incorrect because they do not account for the vessel's size and horsepower, which determine the required number of extinguishers under the regulations.
