70% to passWhich of these approved lifesaving devices must a small passenger vessel carrying passengers for hire carry for each person on board? (small passenger vessel regulations)
A
Buoyant vest
B
Buoyant cushion
C
Life jacket
D
Ring buoy
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Life jacket. According to the US Coast Guard regulations for small passenger vessels, each person on board must be provided with a life jacket that is approved for use on that type of vessel. Buoyant vests, buoyant cushions, and ring buoys are other approved lifesaving devices, but they do not satisfy the requirement for a life jacket for each person. Life jackets provide the most reliable personal flotation and are the required lifesaving device for all passengers on small passenger vessels.
