Question 1535 Deck Safety
70% to passYour passenger vessel is 130 feet (40 m) long and is alternatively equipped for operating in river service. The number of ring life buoys required for the vessel is _______________.
A
2
B
4
C
6
D
8
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 4 ring life buoys. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR 117.70), vessels 100 gross tons or more, such as the 130-foot passenger vessel described, are required to have a minimum of 4 ring life buoys. This requirement applies regardless of whether the vessel is operating in river service or other service types. The other options are incorrect because 2 ring life buoys (A) would be insufficient for a vessel of this size, and 6 (C) or 8 (D) would exceed the regulatory requirement for a vessel of this length.
