Which portable fire extinguisher is normally recharged in a shore facility?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide extinguishers are high-pressure vessels that require specialized equipment and certified facilities for hydrostatic testing and recharging. Unlike water or dry chemical extinguishers, which can often be serviced on board, CO2 units must be sent to a shore-based facility to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
