Question 1852Deck General70% to pass
A small passenger vessel, operating only on domestic routes, which is operated in salt water for more than three months in a year must undergo a dry dock and internal structural examination at least once every _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 2 years.
According to the regulations in 46 CFR 115.600, a small passenger vessel operating in salt water for more than 3 months in a year must undergo a dry dock and internal structural examination at least once every 2 years. This requirement applies to domestic vessels, regardless of the length of the voyages.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 3 years (B), 4 years (C), and 5 years (D) do not meet the regulatory requirement for a 2-year dry dock and internal structural examination for small passenger vessels operating in salt water for more than 3 months per year.
