Question 1488 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) on or near the navigating bridge. This is the correct answer because the regulations require that distress signals must be readily accessible from the navigating bridge. This ensures that the crew can quickly access and deploy the distress signals in an emergency situation. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirement for the location of distress signals. Option B is incorrect as the signals should not be stowed in an enclosed space below the freeboard deck. Option C is incorrect as the signals should not be on the flying bridge. Option D is incorrect as the signals should not be stowed above the freeboard deck.
