Question 1615 Deck General

70% to pass

On vessels subject to the provisions of 46 CFR Subchapter T, life jackets shall be _______________.

A inaccessible to passengers
B on the topmost deck of the vessel at all times
C kept locked up at all times when underway
D stored in convenient places throughout the accommodation spaces
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) stored in convenient places throughout the accommodation spaces. This is correct because 46 CFR 185.15-1 requires that on vessels subject to Subchapter T, life jackets must be "readily accessible" to passengers, meaning they are stored in convenient locations throughout the accommodation spaces rather than locked up or only on the top deck. The regulations are designed to ensure passengers can quickly access life jackets in an emergency. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the accessibility requirements in the regulations. Life jackets should not be inaccessible to passengers (A), kept only on the topmost deck (B), or locked up (C), as that would hinder their availability in an emergency situation.
