Question 1662 Deck General

70% to pass

Small wooden hull passenger vessels, whose routes are limited to coastwise warm water routes on the high seas, must carry approved life floats or buoyant apparatus _______________.

A in place of ring life buoys
B for not less than 100% of all persons permitted on board
C for all persons on board
D for not less than 67% of all persons permitted on board
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) for not less than 100% of all persons permitted on board. According to the regulations for small wooden hull passenger vessels operating on coastwise warm water routes, these vessels must carry approved life floats or buoyant apparatus for not less than 100% of all persons permitted on board. This requirement ensures that there is sufficient flotation equipment to accommodate all passengers and crew in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because: A) life rings are not an acceptable substitute for life floats or buoyant apparatus, C) the regulations require 100% coverage, not 100% of persons on board, and D) 67% coverage is insufficient for this type of vessel operating in these conditions.
