Questions and Answers

1.

December - Safety Resource Manual
2.

One quart of oil can cover two acres on the surface of the water.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
One quart of oil can cover two acres on the surface of the water. This statement is true because oil spreads out very thin when it is spilled on water. Due to its low density and surface tension, it can quickly spread across a large area. The thin layer of oil can cover two acres, creating a significant environmental hazard and causing harm to aquatic life.

The pilot is responsible to notify the U.S. Coast Guard by fax.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The pilot is not responsible for notifying the U.S. Coast Guard by fax. The responsibility of notifying the U.S. Coast Guard lies with the vessel's owner or operator, not the pilot. The pilot's role is to provide navigational guidance and assistance to the vessel, but they do not have the responsibility of contacting the Coast Guard. Therefore, the statement is false.

Explanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that C&B Marine's notification procedures in the event of an oil spill can indeed be found in the Emergency Response Manual.

The oil spill kit is used to clean up a spill with items like:
- A.
  
  Boom
- B.
  
  Absorbent pads
- C.
  
  Cleanup bags
- D.
  
  Lysol
- E.
  
  All the above except for D
Correct Answer
E. All the above except for D

Explanation
The oil spill kit is used to clean up a spill and typically includes items like boom, absorbent pads, and cleanup bags. These items are essential for containing and absorbing the spilled oil, as well as properly disposing of the contaminated materials. Lysol, on the other hand, is not typically included in an oil spill kit as it is a disinfectant cleaner and does not directly aid in the cleanup process. Therefore, the correct answer is all the above options except for D.
