Question 517 Deck General

70% to pass

A "wet cargo" refers to _______________.

A bulk liquids
B liquids in containers
C cargoes that will cause condensation
D a cargo that will be damaged if it gets wet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) liquids in containers. A "wet cargo" refers to cargo that is in liquid form and transported in containers or packages, as opposed to being transported in bulk. This is the standard definition used in the context of the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. The other answer choices are not accurate representations of what a "wet cargo" is. Bulk liquids (option A) would not be considered a "wet cargo" since they are not in containers. Cargoes that cause condensation (option C) or can be damaged by getting wet (option D) are more general cargo characteristics and do not specifically define what a "wet cargo" is.
