Either one approved B-V semi-portable or post 2017 One 160-B extinguisher is required to protect the engine room on uninspected towing vessels whose construction was contracted for before what date?
• 46 CFR requirements for uninspected towing vessels fire protection • Differences between semi-portable (B-V) and 160-B extinguishers and when they were phased in • Key dates when towing vessel fire protection rules were updated in the early 2000s
• Which regulatory change introduced the option of using a 160-B extinguisher instead of a B-V semi-portable for engine room protection? • Look at the pattern of USCG rulemakings around 2002–2005 for uninspected towing vessels: which date is tied specifically to construction contract dates? • Do any of these dates line up with other requirements you’ve studied for uninspected towing vessels (like lifesaving or other fire equipment)?
• Confirm in 46 CFR that this requirement is tied to construction contracted for on or after/before a specific date, not the vessel’s delivery date • Verify which of the listed dates appears in the section on fire-extinguishing equipment for uninspected towing vessels • Make sure you are not mixing this up with dates for inspected towing vessels or for different classes of vessels (e.g., small passenger vessels)
