Your tow contains a barge carrying carbon tetrachloride. What is NOT required?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Requirements for dangerous cargo in bulk on barges under 46 CFR and 33 CFR • Differences between marking/signage requirements and documentation/information card requirements • Who must be certificated when handling certain liquid dangerous cargoes

💭 Think About

• Think about which person or unit (towboat vs barge) is directly responsible for cargo handling versus just moving the barge from place to place • Consider which items are meant to warn people at a distance and which items are meant for the operator’s reference • Ask yourself: in ordinary towing of a loaded chemical barge, which of these would the regulations most clearly and consistently require, and which one seems less directly tied to safety or handling?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what markings or warning signs must be displayed on a barge carrying hazardous or dangerous liquid cargo • Check who is required to hold a Tankerman certificate and under what circumstances (e.g., loading, discharging, or caring for cargo) • Confirm whether cargo information cards are required in the pilothouse, on the barge itself, or both for dangerous liquid cargoes in bulk
