What is the period of validity of a Safety Management Certificate?

A 42 months
B 60 months
C 48 months
D 36 months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 60 months. The period of validity for a Safety Management Certificate is 60 months, as specified in the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. The ISM Code is the international standard for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution prevention, which is required to be implemented by commercial vessels. The certificate is issued by the vessel's flag state administration or a recognized organization acting on its behalf, and it must be renewed every 60 months to ensure the vessel's continued compliance with the safety management system requirements. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the 60-month validity period prescribed by the ISM Code.
