Question 2680 Deck General

The correct answer is B) used only on inland waters. The fire protection regulations for towing vessels are determined by the area of operation, specifically whether the vessel is operating on inland waters or in the coastal/offshore environment. Towing vessels used only on inland waters are subject to less stringent fire protection requirements compared to those operating in the coastal/offshore environment. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the applicability of the fire protection regulations based on the vessel's area of operation.
