For pumping the bilges, a 54 foot long "T-Boat", which is not a ferry, but is certificated to carry 30 passengers, must be fitted with at least _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) either "A" or "B".
The reason for this is that under the US Coast Guard regulations, a 54-foot "T-Boat" that is not a ferry but is certificated to carry 30 passengers must be fitted with either:
A) one fixed hand pump and one portable hand pump, or
B) one fixed power pump and one portable hand pump.
Both options A and B satisfy the regulatory requirement for bilge pumping systems on this type of vessel. The other options, C) two portable hand pumps, would not meet the regulatory standard.
