How many VHF Survival Craft Transceivers are required aboard passenger ships?

A 2
B 3
C 4
D 5
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 3 VHF Survival Craft Transceivers are required aboard passenger ships. This requirement is specified in the regulations for passenger ships under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). SOLAS Chapter III, Regulation 6.2.1 states that passenger ships must carry at least 3 two-way VHF radiotelephone apparatus for communications between ship and shore-based personnel. These transceivers are critical for emergency communications during a passenger ship evacuation. The other answer choices are incorrect because 2 transceivers would be insufficient, 4 would exceed the minimum requirement, and 5 is not the mandated number according to the SOLAS regulations.
