Question 2667Deck General70% to pass
What does the minimum amount of lifesaving equipment required aboard an 85- foot uninspected towing vessel consists of?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) one approved life preserver for each person on board and one lifebuoy.
This is the correct answer because the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires all uninspected vessels, including 85-foot uninspected towing vessels, to carry one Coast Guard-approved life preserver for each person on board, as well as at least one lifebuoy. This lifesaving equipment requirement is specified in 46 CFR 25.25-5.
The other options are incorrect because: A) does not meet the minimum requirement of one life preserver per person, B) specifies a lifeboat capacity requirement rather than individual lifesaving devices, and D) requires flotation cushions rather than the mandated life preservers and lifebuoy.
