Question 709 Deck General
70% to passMatches and lighters are prohibited on vessels handling Class 1 explosive materials except in a designated area. In accordance with U.S. regulations who may designate this area on the vessel?
A
the senior officer on watch
B
the Company Port Captain
C
the designated areas are listed in the CFR
D
the Master or the COTP
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) the Master or the COTP (Captain of the Port). According to U.S. regulations, the designated areas where matches and lighters are permitted on vessels handling Class 1 explosive materials must be specified by either the Master of the vessel or the Captain of the Port. This is to ensure proper safety protocols are followed when handling hazardous materials. The other options are incorrect because the senior officer on watch and the Company Port Captain do not have the authority to designate these areas, and the specific designated areas are not listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
