Q

On inspected cargo vessels, each fire station is required to be fitted with a hose which has a nominal diameter of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for fire mains and hydrants on inspected cargo vessels • Typical standard fire hose sizes used aboard ships • Difference between nominal diameter of a hose and its actual inner diameter

💭 Think About

• Which hose sizes are commonly found on shipboard fire stations that must be handled quickly by a small team? • Looking at the options, which sizes sound more like portable fire hose, and which sound more like large fixed shore-side supply hose? • Think about human factors: what can a small shipboard fire party safely control inside passageways and on deck?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 46 CFR Part 34 or 95 (Fire protection) for specific hose size wording for cargo vessels. • Verify which sizes in the choices match the standard marine fire hose sizes you’ve seen referenced in training or on vessels. • Confirm that the required size applies to each fire station hose on inspected cargo vessels, not special-purpose shore connection hoses.
