Deck General USCG Question #802 (Set 25)

A vessel constructed after 1970, carrying grades A, B, C or D cargoes, has enclosed spaces where sources of vapor ignition are normally present. What is not required for the segregation of these spaces from cargo tanks?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — galleys

Galleries do not require segregation by cofferdams or pump rooms from spaces containing vapor ignition sources on vessels carrying flammable or combustible cargoes, unlike dedicated cargo areas which require stringent barrier separations.
