Your vessel is loading Class 1G explosives. Which of the following statements is true concerning bunker operations?

A Vessels may handle Class 1 explosives while bunkering without any approval as long as the hatches are open
B Vessels containing Class 1 explosives may not take on bunkers at any time without approval by the COTP
C Vessels may not handle Class 1 explosives while taking on fuel unless approval had been granted by the COTP
D Vessels handling Class 1 explosives may bunker during daylight only without any approval from the COTP
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Vessels may not handle Class 1 explosives while taking on fuel unless approval had been granted by the COTP. This is correct because the handling of Class 1 explosives and bunkering operations are highly regulated for safety reasons. Vessels containing Class 1 explosives may not take on bunkers at any time without prior approval from the Captain of the Port (COTP). This approval is required to ensure proper safety precautions are in place before the hazardous operations are conducted simultaneously. The other options are incorrect because they either allow for unregulated handling of explosives during bunkering (A and D) or completely prohibit bunkering for vessels with Class 1 explosives (B), which is not the case if the proper COTP approval is obtained.
