Deck General USCG Q#1177 (Set 37)

Your tow contains a barge carrying carbon tetrachloride. What is NOT required?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Certificated tankerman on towboat

While 46 CFR requires cargo warning signs, cargo information cards on the barge, and a card in the pilothouse during transit, a certificated tankerman is not required to be stationed on the towing vessel itself while underway, only during transfer operations.
