Question 2759Deck General70% to pass
All self-propelled vessels on an international voyage must be equipped with how many Emergency Position Indicating Radio beacons (EPIRB)?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) One approved Category 1 EPIRB.
All self-propelled vessels on an international voyage must be equipped with one approved Category 1 EPIRB. This is required by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulation. Category 1 EPIRBs are designed to float free, activate, and transmit distress signals automatically if the vessel sinks. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the SOLAS requirement for a single Category 1 EPIRB on self-propelled vessels on international voyages.
