Which statement about the hospital space on a cargo ship is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) If a ship has a crew of forty-five who do not have their own room, the hospital must have four berths.
This is correct because the regulations for cargo ships require the hospital space to have a sufficient number of berths to accommodate 4% of the total crew, rounded up to the nearest whole number. With a crew of 45 who do not have their own rooms, 4% of 45 is 1.8, which rounds up to 2 berths required.
The other options are incorrect because: A) The regulations do not specify a requirement for both a bathtub and shower in the hospital space. B) The hospital space cannot be used for disciplinary confinement. C) A hospital is only required on vessels with a crew of 12 or more if they make voyages of more than 3 days.
