Question 360 Deck General

The correct answer is D) none required. The Coast Guard regulations do not require hand portable fire extinguishers to be installed in staterooms on cargo vessels. The fire protection requirements for cargo vessels focus on having the appropriate number and type of extinguishers in accessible locations around the vessel, rather than in individual staterooms. As long as the overall fire extinguishing capacity for the vessel is met, no additional extinguishers are mandated specifically for staterooms. The other answer choices (A, B, C) are incorrect because they specify a requirement that does not actually exist in the regulations for cargo vessel staterooms.
