Question 2676 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Type B-V semi-portable OR a fixed fire-extinguishing system. For an uninspected towing vessel of 295 GRT constructed before August 27, 2003, the regulations require either a Type B-V semi-portable fire extinguisher or a fixed fire-extinguishing system. This is specified in 46 CFR 27.209(a), which states that vessels in this category must have "either a fixed fire-extinguishing system in the engine room or a semi-portable fire extinguisher of at least the size B-V". The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirements for this specific vessel type and construction date. Option A requires both a fixed CO2 system and another fixed system, which is more than what is needed. Options B and D require additional equipment beyond the B-V semi-portable or fixed system specified in the regulations.
