Question 1499 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) twelve months. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, inflatable liferafts must be overhauled and inspected at a U.S. Coast Guard approved service facility every twelve months. This requirement is outlined in 46 CFR 160.151-57, which specifies the necessary servicing and inspection intervals for inflatable liferafts used on U.S. vessels. The other options are incorrect because 24 months is too long of an interval, 18 months is not the required timeframe, and 6 months is too short for the necessary overhaul and inspection of inflatable liferafts.
