Question 1912 Deck General

70% to pass

Vessels in ocean service shall carry (small passenger vessel regulations)

A sufficient inflatable buoyant apparatus for all persons on board
B life floats for 50% of all persons on board
C buoyant apparatus for all persons on board
D life jackets for 50% of all persons on board
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) sufficient inflatable buoyant apparatus for all persons on board. Vessels in ocean service are required to carry sufficient inflatable buoyant apparatus for all persons on board, as per the small passenger vessel regulations. Inflatable buoyant apparatus provides more reliable and effective flotation compared to life floats or buoyant apparatus, making it the preferred safety equipment for vessels in ocean service. The other options are incorrect because life floats for 50% of all persons (B) and buoyant apparatus for all persons (C) do not meet the safety requirements for vessels in ocean service, and life jackets for 50% of all persons (D) do not provide the same level of protection as inflatable buoyant apparatus.
