Immersion suits must be stowed _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) where readily accessible.
Immersion suits must be stowed in a location where they can be quickly accessed in an emergency situation, such as a sinking or abandon ship scenario. The regulations require immersion suits to be stored in a place that is readily accessible to the crew, so they can be donned quickly to protect against hypothermia in cold water. Storing the suits in the pilothouse (A), on open deck areas (B), or on top of lockers (D) may not meet the requirement for ready accessibility.
