Inflatable liferafts carried on passenger vessels must be annually _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) sent to a Coast Guard approved service facility.
Inflatable liferafts carried on passenger vessels must be serviced and repacked annually by a Coast Guard approved service facility. This is a requirement under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) which governs the equipment and maintenance of passenger vessels. The other options are incorrect because the regulations do not allow for the ship's crew to overhaul the liferafts, nor do they permit servicing by the steamship company's own repair facility - it must be done by a facility approved by the Coast Guard to ensure proper inspection and maintenance.
