To determine the average cargo hold dew point temperature, at what location would the dew point be measured?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — The dew point is taken at the ventilation exhaust trunk.
Exhaust trunks consolidate return air from all areas of the cargo space, making the ventilation exhaust trunk the most representative location to measure average dew point temperatures and evaluate overall cargo hold moisture conditions accurately.
