What is NOT required as special safety equipment on a tankship carrying hazardous cargoes in bulk?
• 46 CFR requirements for tankships carrying hazardous or dangerous cargoes in bulk • Typical personal protection and emergency equipment required in pumprooms and cargo areas • Location and purpose of safety lockers and emergency shutdown stations on tank vessels
• Think about which items are directly related to immediate crew protection from spills, splashes, or vapors, especially in pumprooms and cargo manifolds. • Consider which items would most likely be specified in regulations for cargo handling emergencies, such as vapor leaks or a crewmember collapse in a dangerous space. • Ask yourself which one of these sounds more like a general convenience or arrangement detail rather than specifically mandated "special" safety equipment for hazardous cargoes.
• Check which items are clearly associated with exposure to toxic or corrosive cargoes (eyes, skin, inhalation). • Verify which equipment would be required to respond if a crewmember is overcome in a pumproom or in a high‑vapor area. • Consider whether a safety locker adjacent to the emergency shutdown station is explicitly listed in regulations as required special safety equipment, or if it sounds more like an optional arrangement detail.
