Of the required ring life buoys for an OSV, how many must be equipped with a waterlight?

A 8
B 4
C 2
D 1
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 2. According to the regulations for offshore supply vessels (OSVs), at least 2 of the required ring life buoys must be equipped with a waterlight. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 190.05-10, which outlines the lifesaving equipment that must be carried on OSVs. The other answer choices are incorrect because 8 ring life buoys with waterlights would exceed the requirement, while 4 or 1 would not meet the minimum of 2 required by the regulation.
