Which barge in your tow would require a cargo information card to be carried in the pilothouse?

Correct Answer: Option B — An empty (not gas-free) barge that last carried benzene

Title 46 CFR 151.45-2 mandates that a Cargo Information Card (CIC) must be in the pilothouse for any barge carrying hazardous cargo, including empty, non-gas-free barges. Benzene is a highly toxic, flammable carcinogen, requiring emergency response information until the tank is certified gas-free.
