On a vessel of 125,000 GT on an international voyage, how many international shore connection flange(s) must be provided?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 1.
According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, a vessel of 125,000 GT on an international voyage must be equipped with at least one international shore connection flange. This requirement is specified in SOLAS Chapter II-1, Regulation 43, which mandates the provision of a standard international shore connection to enable the ship to receive water from shore-based fire pumps or other external water sources in the event of an emergency.
The other answer choices are incorrect because SOLAS does not require 2, 3, or 4 international shore connection flanges for a vessel of this size on an international voyage. The regulation clearly specifies a minimum of one such flange.
