Question 1 of 31048

What is the minimum number of portable 20-B fire extinguishers required in the machinery space of a 199 GT uninspected motor towing vessel of 8000 B.H.P that was built in 2017?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter C requirements for uninspected vessels (especially Part 25 – Firefighting Equipment) • How brake horsepower (B.H.P.) and vessel tonnage/length affect the number and size of required extinguishers • Distinction between machinery space extinguishers and extinguishers required in other spaces

💭 Think About

• Identify exactly which CFR table applies to an uninspected motor towing vessel of this size and horsepower built after 2016 • Look at the row for towing vessels with about 8000 B.H.P. in that table and see how many 20‑B extinguishers are specified for the machinery space • Check whether any additional extinguishers are required due to vessel size (GT/length) or construction date (2017), beyond the base machinery-space requirement

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using 46 CFR Part 25 (not inspected-vessel rules) and the correct table for towing vessels • Verify the B.H.P. range that includes 8000 B.H.P. and read the corresponding minimum number of 20‑B extinguishers for machinery spaces • Make sure you are counting only the machinery-space requirement, not adding extinguishers required for accommodation or other spaces
