Question 2756 Deck General

70% to pass

Due to the nature of a vessel's construction for a particular trade, it does not fully comply with the provisions of SOLAS. Where will this be indicated?

A On the Exemption Certificate
B Nowhere; the vessel must comply to engage in international trade.
C On the face of the Certificate of Inspection
D On the reverse of the particular SOLAS certificate affected
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) On the Exemption Certificate. The reasoning is that if a vessel does not fully comply with the provisions of SOLAS (the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) due to the nature of its construction for a particular trade, an Exemption Certificate would be issued to document this non-compliance. The Exemption Certificate would indicate the specific SOLAS requirements from which the vessel is exempted. The other options are incorrect because: B) The vessel must comply with SOLAS to engage in international trade, unless an Exemption Certificate is issued. C) The Certificate of Inspection would not indicate SOLAS non-compliance. D) The SOLAS certificate affected would not have the exemption information on the reverse, as that information would be on the Exemption Certificate.
