You are underway with a tow consisting of six barges containing hazardous chemicals. Which statement is FALSE concerning a cargo information card?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — It must be posted on the lead barge of the tow only.
Under 46 CFR 151.45-2, Cargo Information Cards (CICs) must be posted on each individual barge carrying the chemical and kept in the towing vessel's pilothouse. Restricting the posting to only the lead barge is false and violates federal safety and emergency response regulations.
