As an engineer on a tanker of more than 1600 gross tons on an international voyage, how would you direct the fire team to combat a large cargo space fire?

Correct Answer: Option D — Use fixed water and foam systems to extinguish the fire.

For large cargo space fires on tankers, fixed water spray and foam systems are essential. These systems provide the necessary cooling and smothering capabilities to handle large-scale fuel fires that portable extinguishers cannot manage, complying with international safety regulations for tanker cargo area protection.
