70% to passYou have recently joined a vessel and are reviewing the classification society survey due dates. The last special periodic survey of the vessel was ten months previous. Within what time frame can the annual machinery surveys be completed?
A3 months plus or minus the anniversary date of the last special survey.
B2 months plus or minus the anniversary date of the last special survey
C1 month plus or minus the anniversary date of the last special survey
DOn the anniversary month of the last special survey
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 3 months plus or minus the anniversary date of the last special survey. This is correct because, according to the regulations for classification society surveys, annual machinery surveys are required to be completed within a 6-month window - 3 months before or 3 months after the anniversary date of the last special periodic survey. This allows for flexibility in scheduling the annual surveys while ensuring they are completed in a timely manner. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the 6-month window specified in the regulations. Option B (2 months) and Option C (1 month) are too narrow, while Option D (on the anniversary month only) is too restrictive.
