You are on a vessel that carries liquefied gases in bulk. The person on watch is required to have what information about the cargo easily accessible?
• 46 CFR requirements for personnel on watch on gas carriers • What information is immediately critical in an emergency (e.g., leak, fire, exposure) • Typical contents of a Cargo Information / Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for liquefied gases
• If there is a sudden leak of liquefied gas, which of these pieces of information would the watchstander need right away to protect the ship and crew? • Which choice relates directly to safety and emergency response, rather than paperwork or cargo documentation? • Think about what must be posted or kept ready at hand on the bridge or cargo control room for hazardous cargoes.
• Identify which option deals with emergency response actions, not just recordkeeping or logistics • Ask: which information would be too slow or unnecessary to look up in the first few minutes of an incident? • Confirm which choice is clearly tied to hazard control, protection, and emergency procedures for liquefied gas cargoes.
