Question 1 of 27070

A 98 GT uninspected towing vessel with a 1500 B.H.P. engine capability would be required to carry how many type B-II hand portable fire extinguishers on board?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 25 – Requirements for fire extinguishing equipment on uninspected vessels • How brake horsepower (B.H.P.) and vessel length/tonnage affect the number and size (B-I vs B-II) of extinguishers • Difference between portable and semi-portable fire extinguishers on towing vessels

💭 Think About

• Identify the correct CFR table that lists fire extinguisher requirements for uninspected motor vessels based on engine B.H.P. • Determine which B.H.P. range a 1500 B.H.P. towing vessel falls into, and read across that row for the required number of B-II extinguishers. • Check whether the rule asks for hand portable B-II units only, or a combination of B-I and B-II, and make sure you’re counting only the type asked in the question.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are looking at the line for an uninspected motor vessel (towing) with inboard engines and the correct B.H.P. range. • Confirm the table column for “minimum number of B-II hand portable extinguishers” and not for semi-portable systems. • Make sure the vessel’s gross tonnage (98 GT) and its use as a towing vessel do not move it into a different category (e.g., inspected vessels).
