Question 2737 Deck General

70% to pass

You are in charge of a fishing vessel with 18 individuals on board. You are required to conduct drills and give safety instruction at least once _______________.

A every month
B before you begin fishing
C every 15 days
D every week
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) every month. The U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that the captain of a fishing vessel conduct drills and provide safety instruction to the crew at least once every month, regardless of the number of individuals on board. This regular training is essential to ensure that the crew is prepared to respond effectively in case of an emergency situation at sea. The other options are incorrect because: B) before you begin fishing is not a specific timeframe, C) every 15 days is more frequent than the required monthly interval, and D) every week is also more frequent than the monthly requirement.
