Deck General USCG Q#2739 (Set 87)

What will be accepted as the shipping papers for an unmanned tank barge but will not be accepted if the tank barge is manned?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Logbook entry

Under hazardous materials regulations, unmanned tank barges lack crew quarters for traditional shipping papers; therefore, authorized regulatory entries in the vessel's official logbook are legally accepted as the primary shipping documentation.
