Question 2966 Deck General

70% to pass

To determine the number of inflatable liferafts required on a vessel, you should check the _______________.

A SOLAS Certificate
B Certificate of Inspection
C Load Line Certificate
D Stability Letter
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard outlines the specific safety equipment and survival craft requirements for a vessel, including the number of inflatable liferafts. This information is based on the vessel's size, passenger capacity, and operating area, as defined in the applicable regulations. The COI is the definitive document that determines the liferaft requirements for a vessel. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly specify the liferaft requirements. The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Certificate applies to international voyages, the Load Line Certificate addresses hull markings, and the Stability Letter covers the vessel's stability characteristics, but none of these documents directly dictate the liferaft requirements in the same way as the COI.
