Which of the following statements is correct concerning fire hoses used within the machinery spaces of cargo vessels, on which the fire main installations were contracted for on, or after 26 May 1965?
• 46 CFR regulations for cargo vessel fire protection (Fire main systems and hoses) • Requirements that apply specifically to machinery spaces versus accommodation or deck areas • Differences between hose length, diameter, lining, and nozzle size requirements
• Ask yourself which of these options sounds like a construction detail that the regulation explicitly mandates (material/type) versus a variable that might depend on the vessel layout (like length). • Consider whether the Coast Guard is more likely to strictly control the type of hose or the exact dimensions (length, diameter) for machinery-space hoses on cargo ships. • Think about what characteristic of a fire hose is critical for maintaining water pressure and durability in a hot, oily machinery space environment.
• Check 46 CFR for fire main and fire hose construction requirements that apply to cargo vessels after a specific contract date (around 1965). • Verify which of these is clearly written as a must in the regulation for hoses in machinery spaces (not just a common practice or recommendation). • Confirm that the requirement you choose applies specifically to machinery spaces on cargo vessels, not just to passenger areas or general deck fire stations.
