Deck General USCG Q#1274 (Set 40)

Which action must be taken when an individual cargo tank is closed off from the inert gas system by the tank isolation valve?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — The tank must be vented to the atmosphere.

When a cargo tank is isolated from the common inert gas main, it must be vented to the atmosphere through its individual venting system. This prevents dangerous over-pressurization or vacuum conditions caused by thermal expansion or contraction of the tank's vapor space.
