The galley on your cargo vessel has an area of 2900 square feet, what will fulfil the requirements for fire protection?
Direct Answer
Option C: One B-II and one C-II extinguisher
SOLAS regulations require specific fire protection for galleys based on area. For a galley of 2900 sq ft, the requirement is typically one Class B-II (medium size) and one Class B-V (large size) fixed foam system, or equivalent approved system. The options provided suggest a misinterpretation of extinguisher classes; typically, extinguishers are classified by type (A, B, C, etc.) and size, not specifically 'B-V' as a standalone extinguisher type.
