On an OSV, how many ring buoys are required to have a buoyant line attached?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) One ring life buoy on each side of the OSV.
The U.S. Coast Guard regulations require that all OSVs (Offshore Supply Vessels) must have at least one ring life buoy on each side of the vessel, with a buoyant line attached. This is specified in 46 CFR 199.100, which outlines the lifesaving equipment requirements for OSVs.
The other answer choices are incorrect because A) two ring life buoys on each side is not the minimum requirement, C) three ring life buoys is excessive, and D) one ring life buoy without the requirement for a buoyant line does not meet the regulations.
