Question 42Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) Light fuel oils. Light fuel oils, such as gasoline and kerosene, typically have a flash point below 150°F, which makes them more volatile and flammable compared to other petroleum products. This is in accordance with the regulations and standards set by the US Coast Guard for the safe handling and storage of hazardous materials. The other options, B) Lubricating oils, C) Road oils, and D) Asphalt, generally have higher flash points above 150°F, making them less susceptible to ignition and therefore safer to handle on board vessels.
