Question 1540Deck Safety70% to pass
Great Lakes vessels, using liferafts, must have sufficient liferaft capacity on each side of the vessel to accommodate at least _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 100% of the persons on board.
According to the regulations, Great Lakes vessels using liferafts must have sufficient liferaft capacity on each side of the vessel to accommodate at least 100% of the persons on board. This ensures that in the event of an emergency, there are enough liferafts to safely evacuate all personnel, even if one side of the vessel is inaccessible.
The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the 100% requirement. Option A (150% of the crew) and Option B (100% of the persons normally assigned to those spaces) are both less than the 100% of persons on board requirement. Option C (50% of the persons on board) is also insufficient, as it does not provide enough liferaft capacity to accommodate all personnel.
