70% to pass

By regulation, life preservers aboard an uninspected towing vessel must be which of the following?

A stored in sealed containers
B securely stowed
C stowed with the emergency provisions
D readily accessible
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) readily accessible. The regulations for uninspected towing vessels require that life preservers be readily accessible to the crew. This means that the life preservers must be placed in a location where they can be quickly and easily retrieved in an emergency situation, without any significant barriers or obstacles. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not fully meet the regulatory requirement for life preservers to be readily accessible.
