70% to passHow many ring life buoys should a 700 foot cargo vessel, not subject to SOLAS, navigating the Great Lakes carry?
A
12
B
14
C
18
D
24
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 14 ring life buoys. This is based on the requirements for ring life buoys on cargo vessels not subject to SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, as per the US Coast Guard regulations. For a cargo vessel 700 feet in length navigating the Great Lakes, the regulation requires a minimum of 14 ring life buoys to be carried. The other options are incorrect because 12 (A) is below the requirement, 18 (C) and 24 (D) would be excessive for a 700 foot vessel not subject to SOLAS.
