Question 1690 Deck General

70% to pass

The rescue boat on an OSV is not required to carry a _______________.

A sea anchor
B radar reflector
C fishing kit
D searchlight
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) fishing kit. The reasoning is that the rescue boat on an Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) is not required to carry a fishing kit, as it is a specialized piece of safety equipment, not a standard requirement. The rescue boat must carry other essential safety gear like a sea anchor (A), radar reflector (B), and searchlight (D), but a fishing kit is not mandated by the regulations governing OSV rescue boat equipment. The other options are incorrect because a sea anchor, radar reflector, and searchlight are required safety items for rescue boats on OSVs, while a fishing kit is not a standard requirement.
