Question 1823 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) special purpose vessels 24 meters and more in length on International Waters. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has stability requirements and recommendations that apply specifically to special purpose vessels 24 meters and above in length operating on international waters. These requirements are outlined in the IMO Code of Safety for Special Purpose Ships. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) fishing vessels less than 24 meters are not subject to the IMO stability requirements, C) the IMO requirements do not apply to all vessels 24 meters and above on inland and international waters, and D) sailing vessels 12 meters and above on international waters are not specifically addressed in the IMO stability requirements for special purpose ships.
