Question 3585 Deck General

70% to pass

Each buoyant work vest must be _______________.

A marked with the name of the vessel
B U.S. Coast Guard approved
C equipped with a water light
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) U.S. Coast Guard approved. Each buoyant work vest must be U.S. Coast Guard approved in order to be considered a valid and legal lifesaving device on a vessel. The U.S. Coast Guard sets the standards and requirements for the design, construction, and performance of all personal flotation devices, including work vests, to ensure they will provide the necessary buoyancy and safety for the wearer. The other options, while potentially desirable features, are not required by regulation for a buoyant work vest to be carried onboard a vessel.
