What is NOT a requirement for storage batteries on tank barges?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for storage batteries on tank barges • Why batteries are a potential ignition source in cargo and cargo-handling spaces • Typical safety features for batteries: ventilation, securing against movement, protection from liquids

💭 Think About

• Which option, if allowed, could increase the risk of igniting cargo vapors on a tank barge? • Think about which items are common sense safety practices for ANY battery installation, not just on tank barges. • Which choice describes something that sounds LEAST like a protective safety requirement and more like something you would specifically want to avoid near flammable cargo?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR (Tank Barges) where storage batteries are permitted or prohibited relative to cargo or cargo-handling spaces. • Check which measures are clearly required: ventilation and securing against movement are standard for preventing gas buildup and physical damage. • Confirm whether a watertight lining in battery boxes is specified as a requirement, or if the regulation is more focused on location and ventilation.
