70% to pass

The inspection of a 50 ft. vessel of 65 gross tons carrying more than twelve passengers on an international voyage is required by the Coast Guard once in every _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)

A four years with a minimum of three re-inspections during the four year period

B two years

C three years with a minimum of two re-inspections during the three year period

D year

AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) year. The Small Passenger Vessel Regulations (46 CFR Subchapter T) require that a 50 ft. vessel of 65 gross tons carrying more than twelve passengers on an international voyage must be inspected by the Coast Guard once per year. This annual inspection ensures the vessel's continued compliance with all applicable safety and operational requirements. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the annual inspection requirement for this type of vessel and voyage. A two-year or three-year inspection cycle, even with minimum re-inspections, would not meet the regulatory standard for these types of small passenger vessels engaged in international voyages.
