🔍 Key Concepts

• Dangerous cargo barge markings for tank barges with independent tanks • Meaning of the alternating red and white quadrant cargo placard • Tow configuration rules for lead vs. protected position of hazardous cargo barges

💭 Think About

• Think about what type of hazard the alternating red and white quadrants indicate: is it fire risk, vapor risk, or collision protection need? • Consider where a barge with this type of cargo should normally be placed in a tow for safety of the towboat and crew. • Ask yourself: which options describe placement that reduces exposure of the towboat to the most dangerous effects of a cargo release?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what alternating red and white quadrants specifically signal for tank barges in inland towing references or CFR/USCG materials. • Check which choice correctly uses the term lead barge (furthest forward / most exposed) versus protected position within the tow (surrounded or shielded by other barges). • Eliminate any option that describes a hazard (like spontaneous ignition) that does not match what those placards actually mean.
