70% to pass

SOLAS requires Emergency Instructions be posted in conspicuous places throughout the vessel. On a passenger vessel what language shall these instructions be posted in?

A the principal language of the passengers and in English
B English, Spanish, French and German
C the language required by the ship's flag State and in English
D English because it is the international language
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the language required by the ship's flag State and in English. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires that emergency instructions be posted in the language required by the ship's flag State and in English. This ensures that the instructions are understandable to both the crew and the passengers, as English is the international language used in maritime operations. The other options are incorrect because A) posting instructions only in the principal language of the passengers and English may not be sufficient if the passengers speak multiple languages, and B) and D) do not fully comply with the SOLAS requirement to post instructions in the language of the flag State.
