Question 2757 Deck General

The correct answer is B) S.O.L.A.S. Convention. The Safety Equipment Certificate shows that the vessel conforms to the standards of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). SOLAS is an international maritime safety treaty developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is the primary source of regulations for safety equipment on commercial vessels. The U.S. Coast Guard enforces SOLAS requirements for vessels operating in U.S. waters. The other options are incorrect because the American Salvage Association, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the American Bureau of Shipping are not the sources of the international safety standards represented by the Safety Equipment Certificate.
