Question 2753 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 60 months. The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention requires cargo ships to have a Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate, which is valid for a period of 60 months (5 years). This certificate verifies that the ship's construction and equipment meet the applicable safety standards under SOLAS. The 60-month validity period is specified in SOLAS Chapter I, Regulation 14, which outlines the requirements for the issuance and renewal of safety certificates for cargo ships. The other options are incorrect because 12 months (A) and 24 months (B) are too short, while 48 months (C) is shorter than the 60-month period required by the SOLAS regulations.
