Which vessel is NOT required to carry a rocket-type line throwing appliance?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) An oceangoing vessel of 140 GT.
According to the regulations, oceangoing vessels of less than 200 gross tons are not required to carry a rocket-type line throwing appliance. The reasoning is that these smaller oceangoing vessels are generally less likely to encounter situations where a line throwing appliance would be necessary, such as towing operations or vessel-to-vessel transfers.
In contrast, coastwise vessels of 550 GT and river-going vessels of 760 GT would be required to carry a line throwing appliance, as they are larger vessels that may operate in conditions where such equipment could be essential for safety.
