Question 1132 Deck General

70% to pass

Which statement is TRUE concerning buoyant work vests aboard tank vessels?

A They may be worn while working on deck but not while working over the side.
B They must be used only under supervision of a designated ship's officer.
C They will be accepted for up to 10% of the required life preservers.
D They may be worn during drills.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) They must be used only under supervision of a designated ship's officer. This is because the regulations for tank vessels require that buoyant work vests can only be used under the supervision of a designated ship's officer. They are not a substitute for the required number of life preservers and must be used in addition to, not in place of, the required life preservers. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Buoyant work vests cannot be worn while working over the side, C) They cannot be used to meet the life preserver requirements, and D) They can only be worn under supervision, not during general drills.
