Question 1885Deck General70% to pass
Small passenger vessels on rivers routes in cold water must be provided with life floats of an aggregate capacity to accommodate _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) at least 50% of all persons on board or meet certain construction standards.
This is based on the regulations for small passenger vessels operating on rivers in cold water, which require the vessel to be provided with life floats of an aggregate capacity to accommodate at least 50% of all persons on board. Alternatively, the vessel can meet certain construction standards, such as having adequate reserve buoyancy, to be exempt from the life float requirement.
The other options are incorrect because A) does not account for the crew, B) has the percentages wrong, and D) requires 100% capacity, which exceeds the regulatory requirement.
