Question 520Deck General70% to pass
For vessels fitted with cargo gear, an initial test of the units under a proof load shall be conducted. Subsequent tests and exams of the same nature shall be carried out at what time interval?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 5 years.
The reasoning behind this is that according to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, for vessels fitted with cargo gear, an initial test of the units under a proof load must be conducted, and subsequent tests and examinations of the same nature must be carried out at intervals not exceeding 5 years. This is to ensure the ongoing safety and reliability of the cargo gear.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the 5-year interval requirement specified in the Coast Guard regulations for periodic testing of cargo gear on vessels.
