On an international voyage, how many fire axes is a cargo vessel of 14,000 GT required to carry?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 8 fire axes.
According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, a cargo vessel of 14,000 GT on an international voyage is required to carry 8 fire axes. This requirement is specified in SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 10, which outlines the fire-fighting equipment that must be provided on board cargo ships.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) 4 fire axes is insufficient for a vessel of this size, B) 6 fire axes is also too few, and D) 12 fire axes would exceed the regulatory requirement for a 14,000 GT cargo ship.
