Which of the following methods is used to supply inert gas from a flue gas system to the cargo tanks?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — High capacity fan

These fans provide the necessary pressure and volume to maintain an inert atmosphere, preventing the formation of explosive mixtures within the cargo spaces.
