Question 347Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) dry chemical hose reel system. The illustration SF-0009 is depicting a dry chemical hose reel system, which is a common type of fire extinguishing equipment found on ships and vessels. Dry chemical extinguishers use a dry powder agent that is effective against Class A, B, and C fires, making them a versatile choice for marine applications. The other options are incorrect because: A) Halon 1301 systems are less common nowadays due to environmental concerns, B) CO2 systems require more specialized handling, and C) light water systems are generally used for Class B and C fires, but may not be as effective on solid combustible materials.
