Deck General USCG Question #1134 (Set 35)

What is the purpose of pressure-vacuum relief valves?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Automatic regulation of pressure or vacuum in enclosed spaces.

Pressure-vacuum (PV) relief valves automatically regulate internal tank pressures and vacuums, protecting cargo tank structural integrity from excessive overpressure during loading or vacuum collapse during ballasting and discharge operations.
