70% to pass

Inflatable liferafts on vessels on an international voyage must be able to carry at least _______________.

A 2 persons
B 4 persons
C 6 persons
D 8 persons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 6 persons. Inflatable liferafts on vessels on an international voyage must be able to carry at least 6 persons. This requirement is outlined in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which sets the standards for safety equipment on international voyages. The SOLAS regulations specify that liferafts must have a capacity to accommodate at least 6 persons, in order to ensure adequate safety for the crew and passengers in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum SOLAS requirement for liferaft capacity on international voyages. Options A (2 persons) and B (4 persons) are too small, while option D (8 persons) exceeds the minimum requirement, though it would also be an acceptable liferaft size.
