Single hull vessels operating exclusively on the Great Lakes must be dry docked at intervals not to exceed what time period?

A 60 months
B 24 months
C 12 months
D 48 months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 60 months. According to the regulations governing the inspection of commercial vessels, single hull vessels operating exclusively on the Great Lakes must be dry docked at intervals not to exceed 60 months (5 years). This requirement is in place to ensure the structural integrity and safety of these vessels through regular inspections and maintenance. The other options are incorrect because: B) 24 months is too short of an interval, C) 12 months is also too short, and D) 48 months is longer than the required 60-month period.
