Question 2722 Deck General

70% to pass

On a commercial fishing vessel, a wearable personal flotation device must be marked with the name of the _______________.

A vessel
B assigned individual
C owner of the device
D Any of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Any of the above. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 46 CFR 25.25-9 states that each wearable personal flotation device (PFD) must be marked with the name of the vessel, the name of the owner, or the name of the individual to whom the PFD is assigned. Therefore, the PFD can be marked with any of these three options, making answer D the correct choice. The other options are incorrect because the regulations do not limit the marking to only the vessel's name (A), or only the assigned individual's name (B), or only the owner's name (C). Any of the three options are acceptable for marking the PFD.
