70% to passYour vessel has been loaded with Class 1 explosives and is secured for sea. In accordance with U.S. regulations which of the following is true?
A
you may take on bunkers during daylight hours with COTP approval
B
you may take on bunkers without any approval
C
you may only take on bunkers during daylight hours
D
you must obtain approval from the COTP to bunker
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) you may take on bunkers without any approval. According to U.S. regulations, when a vessel is loaded with Class 1 explosives and is secured for sea, the vessel may take on bunkers without any approval from the Captain of the Port (COTP). This is because the regulations prioritize the safe and efficient movement of vessels carrying hazardous materials, and do not require additional approvals for routine operations like bunkering. The other options, such as requiring COTP approval or limiting bunkering to daylight hours, are not the correct requirements for this specific scenario.
