On a vessel of 125,000 GT on an international voyage, how many international shore connection flange(s) must be provided?

A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 1. According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, a vessel of 125,000 GT on an international voyage must be equipped with at least one international shore connection flange. This requirement is specified in SOLAS Chapter II-1, Regulation 43, which mandates the provision of a standard international shore connection to enable the ship to receive water from shore-based fire pumps or other external water sources in the event of an emergency. The other answer choices are incorrect because SOLAS does not require 2, 3, or 4 international shore connection flanges for a vessel of this size on an international voyage. The regulation clearly specifies a minimum of one such flange.
