On Great Lakes vessels, when do midsummer load lines apply?

A June 16 through September 16
B July 16 through August 30
C May 1 through September 15
D April 16 through April 30 and September 16 through September 30
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) May 1 through September 15. The midsummer load line regulations for Great Lakes vessels state that the midsummer load line applies during the period from May 1 through September 15. This is the period when water levels and weather conditions on the Great Lakes are generally the most favorable for carrying a heavier cargo load. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory timeframe for midsummer load lines on the Great Lakes. Options A, B, and D all specify different date ranges that do not match the established regulations.
