Question 1919 Deck General

70% to pass

The life jackets on all vessels shall be _______________.

A inspected weekly
B worn at all times
C readily available
D tested yearly
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) readily available. The regulations regarding life jackets on vessels require that they be readily available for all passengers and crew, rather than worn at all times or inspected/tested on a regular schedule. The life jackets must be easily accessible and in good condition, but passengers are typically not required to wear them continuously while on board. The other options, while potentially good safety practices, are not the specific regulatory requirement for life jacket availability on vessels.
