Question 1714Deck General70% to pass
A small passenger vessel engaging in international voyages must be dry docked at least once every _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 12 months.
According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a small passenger vessel engaging in international voyages must be dry docked at least once every 12 months. This requirement is found in 46 CFR 71.50-5, which mandates annual inspections and dry dockings for these types of vessels to ensure their seaworthiness and safety.
The other options are incorrect because 6 months is too frequent, 36 months is too long, and 60 months is significantly beyond the regulatory requirement.
