Question 2732 Deck General

70% to pass

Every fishing vessel required to have a general alarm system must test it _______________.

A prior to operation of the vessel
B once every week that the vessel is operated
C once every day that the vessel is operated
D Both B and C
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Both B and C. According to the regulations, every fishing vessel required to have a general alarm system must test it once every week that the vessel is operated (option B) and once every day that the vessel is operated (option C). This is a requirement outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for commercial fishing vessels, specifically 46 CFR 28.240. The other options are incorrect because option A would only apply before the initial operation of the vessel, not for ongoing testing, and option C alone would not fully cover the required testing frequency as per the regulations.
