70% to pass

A motor lifeboat shall carry sufficient fuel to operate continuously for a period of _______________.

A 12 hours
B 18 hours
C 24 hours
D 36 hours
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 24 hours. According to US Coast Guard regulations, a motor lifeboat must carry sufficient fuel to operate continuously for a period of 24 hours. This requirement ensures that the lifeboat has enough fuel to sustain its operation and provide a sufficient safety margin in the event of an emergency situation. The other options are incorrect because 12 hours (A) and 18 hours (B) do not meet the regulatory requirement, while 36 hours (D) exceeds the necessary fuel capacity.
