Question 292Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) the cylinder location. In accordance with 46 CFR Part 95, which covers fixed carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishing systems, the regulations state that provision must be made for releasing the CO2 from the cylinder location. This allows the CO2 to be discharged directly from the storage cylinders, rather than requiring the CO2 to be released from a remote location like the engineering control station, bridge, or engine room. The ability to release the CO2 directly from the cylinder location provides a more immediate and reliable means of activating the fire extinguishing system in an emergency. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific requirement in the regulations for the CO2 to be releasable from the cylinder location.
