Question 1911 Deck General

70% to pass

Vessels in ocean service shall carry sufficient life floats for (small passenger vessel regulations)

A 25% of all persons on board
B 50% of all persons on board
C 75% of all persons on board
D 100% of all persons on board
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 100% of all persons on board. According to the small passenger vessel regulations, vessels in ocean service must carry sufficient life floats for 100% of all persons on board. This requirement ensures that there is a life float available for every individual on the vessel in the event of an emergency or vessel sinking, providing them with the necessary flotation devices to increase their chances of survival until rescue. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the 100% requirement specified in the regulations. Carrying life floats for only 25%, 50%, or 75% of the persons on board would not provide sufficient safety coverage for all individuals on the vessel.
