On a tankship, who is responsible for the sanitary inspections of the crew's quarters?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for sanitary inspections on tank vessels • Normal responsibilities of the Master versus the Chief Mate and Chief Engineer • Which officer typically has charge of cargo and accommodation areas on a tankship

💭 Think About

• Think about which department (deck or engine) is usually in charge of living quarters and cleanliness on board. • Ask yourself: who normally assists the Master with inspections of crew quarters and cargo areas on a tankship? • Consider which of these officers would have routine duties involving both safety and habitability of the vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which officer is traditionally the Master’s principal assistant on deck. • Confirm which officer is primarily responsible for engineering plant and machinery rather than living spaces. • Check whether union roles, like union delegates, are normally listed in CFR as having statutory inspection duties.
