70% to pass

A vessel of not more than 65 feet in length must have a collision bulkhead if it carries more than _______________.

A 49 passengers
B 36 passengers
C 6 passengers
D 12 passengers
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 49 passengers. According to the regulations, a vessel of not more than 65 feet in length must have a collision bulkhead if it carries more than 49 passengers. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 178.310, which outlines the collision bulkhead requirements for inspected vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory threshold for the collision bulkhead requirement on vessels of this size. Vessels carrying 36, 6, or 12 passengers would not be required to have a collision bulkhead under this regulation.
