Question 1897Deck General70% to pass
Unless the COI is endorsed for adults only, there shall be provided a number of approved life jackets suitable for children equal to at least _______________ . (small passenger vessel regulations)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 10% of the total number of persons carried.
This is based on the small passenger vessel regulations, which require that unless the Certificate of Inspection (COI) is endorsed for adults only, there shall be provided a number of approved life jackets suitable for children equal to at least 10% of the total number of persons carried on the vessel.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirement. Option A refers to 20% of the total number of persons, which is higher than the 10% specified in the regulations. Options B and C refer to 20% or 10% of just the passengers carried, rather than the total number of persons on board.
