Question 1780 Deck General

70% to pass

If your passenger vessel is fitted with a loudspeaker system, it must be tested at least once _______________.

A every week
B a watch or once a trip, whichever is shorter
C every trip
D a day
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) every week. The reasoning behind this is that according to the regulations for passenger vessels in the United States, the loudspeaker system must be tested at least once a week to ensure it is functioning properly. This requirement is in place to prioritize passenger safety and allow the crew to communicate effectively with passengers in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because testing only once per trip or watch (B) is not frequent enough to reliably ensure the system is working, testing every trip (C) may be overly burdensome, and testing daily (D) is generally not required by the regulations.
