70% to pass

A 750 foot passenger vessel operating on the Great Lakes, not subject to SOLAS regulations, is required to carry how many ring life buoys?

A 24
B 18
C 12
D 6
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 24 ring life buoys. This is based on the requirements for passenger vessels operating on the Great Lakes that are not subject to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations. Under 46 CFR 180.210, passenger vessels of 150 gross tons or more are required to carry at least 1 ring life buoy for every 75 feet of vessel length. For a 750 foot passenger vessel, the required number of ring life buoys is 24. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirements for a vessel of this size operating on the Great Lakes. Options B, C, and D provide fewer ring life buoys than what is mandated by the regulations.
