What is the minimum number of fire axes required on a vessel of 900 GT?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 6.
The US Coast Guard regulations require a minimum of 6 fire axes on vessels of 900 GT (Gross Tonnage) or more. This requirement is outlined in 46 CFR 27.203, which specifies the number of fire axes based on the vessel's tonnage. For vessels between 500 GT and 1,000 GT, the regulation mandates 6 fire axes.
The other answer choices are incorrect because 2 fire axes would be insufficient for a 900 GT vessel, and 4 or 8 fire axes would not meet the specific regulatory requirement for 6 fire axes on a vessel of this size.
