Question 1908Deck General70% to pass
Survival craft required on a steel small passenger vessel operating in cold water must _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) have sufficient capacity for all persons on board the vessel in ocean service.
The regulation for survival craft requirements on steel small passenger vessels operating in cold water is found in 46 CFR 117.207. This regulation states that the survival craft must have sufficient capacity to accommodate the total number of persons on board the vessel when operating in ocean service. This is to ensure that all passengers and crew can be safely evacuated in the event of an emergency at sea.
The other options are incorrect because: A) inflatable liferafts are not the only type of survival craft allowed, B) the color requirement is for vessels in lakes, bays, and sounds service, not ocean service, and C) 50% capacity is not sufficient for ocean service vessels, which must have 100% capacity.
