70% to pass

SOLAS requires a logbook entry for the operation of watertight door drills. Which of the following lists the frequency that these drills are required to be conducted for passenger vessels?

A weekly
B monthly
C bi-weekly
D quarterly
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) weekly. SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) requires that watertight door drills be conducted weekly on passenger vessels. This is specified in SOLAS Chapter II-1, Regulation 15, which states that "Drills for the operating of watertight doors, sidescuttles, valves and closing mechanisms of scuppers, ash-chutes and rubbish-shoots shall take place weekly." The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the SOLAS requirement for weekly watertight door drills on passenger vessels. Monthly, bi-weekly, and quarterly drills would not meet the regulatory standard set forth in SOLAS.
