70% to pass

SOLAS requires that passenger vessels make an entry in the log book for all drills and inspections of watertight doors. What other information relevant to the watertight doors is required to be entered?

A an explicit record of the time required for the door to complete the opening cycle
B an explicit record of all the maintenance preformed to the door
C an explicit record of the time required for the door to complete the entire operational cycle
D an explicit record of any defect that may have been disclosed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) an explicit record of any defect that may have been disclosed. The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) convention requires that passenger vessels make an entry in the log book for all drills and inspections of watertight doors. Specifically, the regulations state that any defects discovered during these inspections must be recorded in the log book. The other answer choices are incorrect because SOLAS does not explicitly require recording the time for the door's opening/closing cycle or maintenance activities. The key requirement is to document any defects found during the inspections of the watertight doors.
