A self-propelled vessel of 12,000 gross tons carrying hazardous materials in bulk as cargo on the navigable waters of the United States is NOT a public vessel. Under 33 CFR §164.38, this vessel is required to be equipped with which of the following?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. An ARPA with both audible and visual alarms that complies with IMO operational standards — 33 CFR §164.38(b)(1) requires each self-propelled vessel, except a public vessel, of 10,000 gross tons or more carrying oil or hazardous materials in bulk as cargo or in residue on the navigable waters of the United States to be equipped with an ARPA complying with IMO standards and having both audible and visual alarms. At 12,000 GT carrying hazardous materials in bulk, this vessel meets that threshold.

Answer

B. An ARPA only if the vessel was constructed on or after September 1, 1984

Answer

C. An ARPA only when operating outside the Great Lakes and their connecting waters

Answer

D. No ARPA, because the 10,000 GT threshold applies only to tank vessels
