Deck Safety (Supplementary) USCG Question #1040 (Set 3)

If your JP-5 barge has operated in saltwater for less than 1 month in the 12 month period since it was last dry-docked, when is it required to be hauled out again?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 60 months since last dry-docking

Barges operating predominantly in freshwater environments accumulate less marine growth and corrosion, allowing extended dry-dock intervals up to 60 months under specific USCG inspection provisions outlined in Title 46 CFR.
