🔍 Key Concepts

• Location and purpose of emergency/remote shutdowns on tank barges • How quickly personnel must be able to reach and operate a shutdown in an emergency spill or fire • Regulatory intent: keeping controls accessible but not exposed to the immediate hazard

💭 Think About

• If there is a fire or major leak at the cargo pump, which location would still be reachable safely and quickly by crew? • Which option keeps the shutdown close enough to the pump for quick control, but not so close that it would be within the danger zone? • Think about normal barge layout: where are pumps typically located, and how far away would be considered a reasonable emergency access distance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that would be too far to be useful in an urgent emergency near the pump • Eliminate any option that would place the operator directly in the highest-risk area (right on top of the pump hazard) • Check which choice suggests a specific safety distance from the pump rather than a vague general area
