70% to pass

You are on a vessel that carries liquefied gasses in bulk. The person on watch is required to have what information about the cargo easily accessible?

A Name and address of consignee
B Exact quantity on board
C Firefighting procedures
D Port of loading
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Firefighting procedures. Vessels that carry liquefied gasses in bulk are required to have detailed information about firefighting procedures readily available for the person on watch. This is because liquefied gasses present unique fire hazards that require specialized firefighting knowledge and equipment. The person on watch needs to be able to quickly access this critical safety information in the event of an emergency. The other answer choices, such as the name and address of the consignee (A), the exact quantity on board (B), or the port of loading (D), while potentially important information, are not the primary responsibility of the person on watch when it comes to the safe handling of liquefied gas cargoes.
