Question 2744 Deck General

70% to pass

A documented vessel operating over 50 miles offshore must carry an inflatable liferaft with a _______________.

A coastal pack
B SOLAS B pack
C SOLAS A pack
D small vessel pack
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) SOLAS A pack. Vessels operating over 50 miles offshore are considered "unlimited" voyages and must comply with the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations. SOLAS requires these vessels to carry a SOLAS A pack inflatable liferaft, which is designed for ocean-going service and provides the highest level of safety and survival equipment compared to coastal or small vessel packs. The other options are incorrect because a coastal pack is not sufficient for unlimited offshore operations, a SOLAS B pack is designed for shorter voyages, and a small vessel pack does not meet the requirements for vessels operating beyond 50 miles from shore.
