Question 964 Deck General

70% to pass

When using the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR's) for Tank Vessels, you see T/O and B/C. What do the T and B tell you?

A Special construction limitations
B The waters in which vessels may operate
C Grades of cargo which may be carried
D Type of vessel to which the regulation applies
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Type of vessel to which the regulation applies. The T and B in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for Tank Vessels refer to the type of vessel to which the regulation applies. Specifically, T stands for "Tank Ship" and B stands for "Tank Barge". This designation helps identify the specific type of tank vessel that the regulation is intended to cover, whether it is a self-propelled tank ship or a non-self-propelled tank barge. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the T/B designations in the CFR. The regulations do not specify special construction limitations, the waters in which vessels may operate, or the grades of cargo that may be carried based solely on the T/B designations.
