🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo compatibility tables in 46 CFR for dangerous chemicals • Special segregation requirements for benzene as a toxic, flammable cargo • How amine-type cargoes (like propanolamine) interact with alcohols and aromatics

💭 Think About

• Look up each pair of cargoes (allyl alcohol–benzene, allyl alcohol–propanolamine, benzene–propanolamine) in the compatibility tables. What symbol or notation appears for each pair? • Consider whether benzene usually has stricter segregation rules with other chemicals compared to alcohols interacting with each other. • Ask yourself: is there any pair among these three that clearly requires segregation or prohibition from adjacent stowage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the compatibility table whether any pair shows an incompatibility or segregation requirement (not just general caution). • Check specifically if benzene has a different compatibility code with the other two than the code between allyl alcohol and propanolamine. • Confirm whether the table indicates mutual compatibility for all three, or if at least one pair must not be adjacent.
