According to U.S. regulations, how many emergency outfits are required to be carried onboard all tankships over 1,000 gross tons?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Two emergency outfits.
According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, all tankships over 1,000 gross tons are required to carry two emergency outfits onboard. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 32.35-20, which states that "each tankship of 1,000 gross tons and over shall carry at least two emergency outfits." The purpose of these emergency outfits is to provide protective clothing and equipment for crew members who may need to respond to emergencies, such as oil spills or fires, on the vessel.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement for two emergency outfits on tankships over 1,000 gross tons.
