Your tow includes a barge carrying chlorine. Which special requirements must be observed?

Correct Answer: Option B — A cargo information card for chlorine must be in the pilothouse.

Under 46 CFR 151.45-2(e)(1), the master of a vessel towing a barge carrying hazardous materials must ensure a Cargo Information Card (CIC) for each chemical is kept in the pilothouse. This provides immediate emergency response data to the wheelhouse watchstander.
