Question 2715Deck General70% to pass
You are operating 10 miles offshore with three people aboard. What kind of survival craft must you carry?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) No survival craft is required.
This is because for vessels operating less than 20 miles offshore, no survival craft is required by US Coast Guard regulations. The requirement for survival craft, such as a life float, inflatable liferaft, or inflatable buoyant apparatus, only applies to vessels operating more than 20 miles offshore. Since the scenario states the vessel is operating 10 miles offshore, no survival craft is mandated.
The other options, while potentially viable survival craft in other situations, are not required for this particular scenario based on the distance from shore.
