Question 300 Deck General
70% to passYou are on a US vessel loading explosives for the military and will be sailing foreign. Who is required to supervise the loading and stowage of the cargo?
A
a USCG credentailed officer with a hazmat endorsement
B
a USCG credentailed officer or rating with a hazmat endorsement
C
a USCG credentailed officer designated by the Master
D
an employee of the carrier designated by the Master
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) a USCG credentailed officer designated by the Master. The reasoning is that the loading and stowage of explosives on a US vessel sailing foreign is considered a hazardous cargo operation. Per US Coast Guard regulations, a USCG credentialed officer, designated by the Master, is required to supervise the loading and stowage of such hazardous cargoes. The other options are incorrect because they either do not specify a USCG credentialed officer (D) or they require a hazmat endorsement, which is not necessary for the supervising officer (A, B).
