Question 1512 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) year. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 199.190(g), all lifeboats, rescue boats, and rigid-type liferafts shall be thoroughly examined, cleaned, and their gear overhauled at least once every 12 months. This ensures that the critical safety equipment is properly maintained and ready for use in emergency situations. The other options are incorrect because 6 months is too frequent, 18 months is longer than the required 12-month interval, and 2 years is also longer than the regulatory requirement.
