Question 1729Deck General70% to pass
The rescue boat on an OSV shall carry a tow line strong enough to tow the vessel's largest loaded liferaft at a speed of at least _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 2 knot.
The reasoning for this is based on the regulations for offshore supply vessels (OSVs) outlined in 46 CFR 133.135(a)(4). This regulation states that the rescue boat on an OSV must carry a towline that is strong enough to tow the vessel's largest loaded liferaft at a speed of at least 2 knots.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 10 knots (A) and 5 knots (C) exceed the minimum 2-knot requirement, while 1 knot (B) is below the minimum speed specified in the regulations.
