Question 1830 Deck General

The correct answer is B) They may be substituted for up to 50% of the required life jackets. This is correct because under the small passenger vessel regulations, unicellular plastic foam work vests can be used to substitute for up to 50% of the required life jackets on board. They are considered an approved type of lifesaving equipment for this purpose. The other answer choices are incorrect - A) and C) are false because work vests are an approved type that can be used, and they do not need to be stowed separately from other lifesaving equipment. D) is false because work vests are intended for crew use, not for passengers.
