🔍 Key Concepts

• Dangerous cargo requirements in 46 CFR (hazardous materials on vessels) • Difference between routine monitoring vs. event‑driven checks (like after rough weather) • Why regulations stress continuous safety assurance during the voyage

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is dangerous cargo only at risk right after loading or in port, or throughout the entire voyage? • Which option best reflects an ongoing responsibility to keep checking the condition and security of the cargo, not just in special circumstances? • Think about how often small problems (like leaks, shifting, heating) could appear and how early you’d want to catch them on a loaded vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice shows a regular, recurring obligation instead of a one‑time or rare event check. • Check whether the answer covers all operating conditions (sea and port) or only some of them. • Consider which choice aligns with the idea that hazardous cargo must be monitored for changes over time, not only after rough weather or just before arrival.
