Within how many hours of arrival must these drills be performed?

B12 hours
C24 hours
D48 hours
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 48 hours. According to 33 CFR 164.25, vessels must conduct drills to test steering system functionality and log it in the vessel logbook within 48 hours of arrival in the navigable waters of the United States after an international voyage, unless the drill is conducted and logged on a regular basis at least once every three months. The other options are incorrect because 6 hours (A) and 12 hours (B) are too short of a timeframe, while 24 hours (C) does not align with the 48-hour requirement specified in the regulations.
