Question 1495 Deck Safety
70% to passYour cargo vessel's Certification of Inspection expires 30 April 2002. One of your inflatable liferafts was last serviced in January 2002. The raft must be re-inspected no later than _______________.
A
January 2003
B
June 2003
C
January 2007
D
April 2004
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) January 2003. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, inflatable liferafts must be serviced annually. Since the raft was last serviced in January 2002, it must be serviced again no later than January 2003, one year after the previous service date. This is independent of the expiration of the Certification of Inspection, which expires on April 30, 2002. The other options are incorrect because B) June 2003 is too late, C) January 2007 is much too long, and D) April 2004 is not the correct service interval based on the previous service date.
