70% to pass

To determine the number of portable fire extinguishers required on an inspected vessel, you should check the _______________.

A Certificate of Inspection
B Safety of Life at Sea Certificate
C Muster List ("Station Bill")
D hot work permit
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for an inspected vessel will specify the required number and type of portable fire extinguishers that must be carried on board. This information is based on the vessel's size, passenger capacity, and other safety considerations outlined in Coast Guard regulations. The other options are incorrect because: B) The Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Certificate applies to international voyages, not domestic U.S. vessels. C) The Muster List contains information about crew duties during emergencies, not fire extinguisher requirements. D) A hot work permit is required for certain maintenance activities, but does not specify fire extinguisher requirements.
