70% to pass

Vessels operating in warm water whose routes are restricted to 20 miles from a harbor of safe refuge shall carry life floats or buoyant apparatus for not less than _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)

A 100% of all persons on board
B 25% of all persons on board
C 75% of all persons on board
D 50% of all persons on board
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 50% of all persons on board. According to the small passenger vessel regulations, vessels operating in warm water whose routes are restricted to 20 miles from a harbor of safe refuge must carry life floats or buoyant apparatus for not less than 50% of all persons on board. This requirement is specified in the regulations to ensure that adequate lifesaving equipment is available in the event of an emergency, while also considering the limited operating area of these vessels. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulation. Option A (100%) would be excessive, while options B (25%) and C (75%) do not match the 50% requirement stated in the regulations.
