70% to pass

If you carry packaged hazardous cargoes on a break bulk vessel bound foreign, you must _______________.

A remove the hazardous cargo labels from a portable tank after the tank is emptied
B log the receipt of hazardous cargoes in the Official Logbook
C have the shipping papers indicate the proper shipping name and the technical name of n.o.s. cargoes
D stow the hazardous cargoes on deck available for jettisoning if necessary
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) have the shipping papers indicate the proper shipping name and the technical name of n.o.s. cargoes. When carrying packaged hazardous cargoes on a break bulk vessel bound for a foreign port, the shipping papers must include the proper shipping name and, if applicable, the technical name for any "not otherwise specified" (n.o.s.) cargoes. This is a requirement under the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, which regulates the transport of hazardous materials by sea. The other options are incorrect because: A) removing hazardous cargo labels is not required after the tank is emptied, B) logging the receipt of hazardous cargoes in the Official Logbook is not the specific requirement here, and D) stowing hazardous cargoes on deck for jettisoning is not the correct procedure for packaged hazardous cargoes.
