Question 338 Deck General

70% to pass

You are on a containership. Which statement about the stowage of hazardous materials in containers is TRUE?

A Packages of liquids within a container should be stowed on top of packages of solids to prevent crushing.
B The containers provide automatic segregation of hazardous materials except for class A explosives.
C All packages within a container must be marked "This End Up" to indicate the correct stowage.
D A refrigerated container with a fuel tank containing a flammable liquid must be stowed on deck.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) A refrigerated container with a fuel tank containing a flammable liquid must be stowed on deck. This is correct because flammable liquids, such as the fuel in a refrigerated container, must be stowed on the open deck of a containership to reduce the risk of fire or explosion. Stowing such hazardous materials below deck in an enclosed container would be unsafe. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the proper stowage requirements for hazardous materials on a containership.
