Question 1490Deck Safety70% to pass
The regulations require that inspected vessels on an international voyage, other than small passenger vessels, must carry which of the following distress signals on or near the navigating bridge?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 12 rocket parachute flares.
The regulations for inspected vessels on international voyages, other than small passenger vessels, require them to carry 12 rocket parachute flares on or near the navigating bridge. Rocket parachute flares are considered one of the most effective and reliable distress signals, as they can be seen from a great distance and at a high altitude, making them more visible to potential rescuers.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the specific regulatory requirement for 12 rocket parachute flares. Options A and B describe a mix of hand flares and smoke signals, which are not the required distress signal. Option C, 12 hand red flares, is also not the correct requirement.
