70% to pass

After 1 September 1992, in the North Pacific area, a documented 75-foot fishing vessel operating in cold waters 25 miles off the coast must have at least a(n) _______________.

A buoyant cushion for each person on board
B inflatable liferaft with a SOLAS pack
C inflatable buoyant apparatus with EPIRB attached
D approved rescue boat
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) inflatable liferaft with a SOLAS pack. After September 1, 1992, vessels operating in the North Pacific area, which includes cold waters 25 miles off the coast, are required to carry an inflatable liferaft with a SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) pack. This requirement is specified in the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for documented fishing vessels operating in this region. The other options are incorrect because: A) buoyant cushions are not sufficient for a vessel of this size and operating area, C) an inflatable buoyant apparatus without an EPIRB is not compliant, and D) a rescue boat is not a required survival craft for this vessel size and operating area.
