Deck General USCG Q#1126 (Set 35)

What is NOT a responsibility of the tankerman in charge of loading an unmanned tank barge?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Insuring that a combustible gas indicator is aboard

Tankerman responsibilities during unmanned barge loading include enforcing safety rules, protecting hoses, and controlling access. However, possessing a combustible gas indicator on board the barge is an equipment requirement of the vessel itself rather than a direct personal operational duty of the tankerman.
