70% to pass

Which emergency is required to be covered at the required periodic drills on a fishing vessel?

A Steering casualty
B Recovering an individual from the water
C Loss of propulsion power
D Emergency towing
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Recovering an individual from the water. The U.S. Coast Guard requires fishing vessels to conduct periodic emergency drills, and one of the mandatory drills is the recovery of an individual from the water. This is a critical skill for crew members to practice, as it ensures they are prepared to respond effectively in the event of a person falling overboard. The other answer choices, while important emergency scenarios, are not specifically required to be covered during these periodic drills on fishing vessels.
