Question 1466 Deck Safety

The correct answer is C) the quantity needed for 24 hours continuous operation. According to the regulations governing the equipment requirements for motor lifeboats, the quantity of fuel that must be carried is the amount needed for 24 hours of continuous operation. This ensures that the lifeboat has enough fuel to safely transport the crew for a full day in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. 90 gallons (option A) or 55 gallons (option B) may not be the appropriate amount for 24 hours of operation, and options C and D specifying 48 hours would exceed the regulatory requirement.
