🔍 Key Concepts

• Requirements for a Dangerous Cargo Manifest location under U.S. regulations (46 CFR – verify current section) • Who needs quick access to the manifest in an emergency (e.g., fire, spill, or evacuation) • Which spaces on board are continuously manned or easily reached by emergency responders

💭 Think About

• In an emergency, which place on the ship would firefighters or responding personnel most likely go to first to talk to the ship’s command team? • Which listed location is normally manned at sea and in port, both day and night, or at least quickly reachable by watch officers? • Think about where navigation and overall control of the vessel are centered—would that be more like an office, a cabin, or another control space?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which area of the ship is associated with overall command and control of the vessel, especially during emergencies • Eliminate any option that is usually locked, private, or not continuously manned (e.g., personal spaces) • Confirm which space is most likely to be checked first by shore emergency responders who come on board during a casualty
