What is the minimum number of ring life buoys required on board a 275-foot cargo vessel engaged in coastwise trade, under the alternatives for cargo vessels in a specified service?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 6 ring life buoys.
According to the US Coast Guard regulations for cargo vessels engaged in coastwise trade, the minimum number of ring life buoys required on a 275-foot cargo vessel is 6. This is based on the requirements for cargo vessels in a specified service, which mandate a minimum of 6 ring life buoys for vessels 65 feet or more in length.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulations for this specific vessel size and service. For example, 8, 12, or 14 ring life buoys would be required for larger vessels or different types of service, but not for a 275-foot cargo vessel in coastwise trade.
