70% to pass

Where should life jackets be stowed? (Small Passenger Vessel Regulations)

A Throughout the accommodation spaces
B In locked watertight and fireproof containers on or above the main deck
C In the forepeak
D In the wheelhouse
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Throughout the accommodation spaces. The Small Passenger Vessel Regulations require that life jackets be readily accessible and stowed throughout the accommodation spaces of the vessel, rather than in locked or restricted locations. This ensures that passengers and crew can quickly access the life jackets in an emergency. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) Life jackets should not be stored in locked containers, C) the forepeak is not an appropriate stowage location, and D) the wheelhouse is reserved for the vessel's navigation and operations, not general life jacket stowage.
