Which document will describe lifesaving equipment located aboard your vessel?

A Certificate of Inspection
B Clearance Papers
C Forecastle Card
D Muster List ("Station Bill")
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) is the official document that outlines the required safety equipment, including lifesaving equipment, that must be carried aboard a vessel. The COI is issued by the US Coast Guard and details the specific equipment and safety standards that the vessel must adhere to in order to legally operate. The other options, such as clearance papers, forecastle cards, and muster lists, do not contain the comprehensive information about lifesaving equipment that is found in the COI.
