Question 1827Deck Safety70% to pass
In accordance with SOLAS, which of the following best describes the obligation of the Master concerning cargo hold watertight doors?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) the Master shall ensure that the cargo hold watertight doors are secured and an entry is made in the log book prior to departure.
This is based on the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, which require the Master to ensure that all watertight doors are closed before the ship departs, and that this is recorded in the ship's log. The Master is responsible for the overall safety of the vessel and must verify that all necessary precautions are taken, including the proper securing of cargo hold watertight doors.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the SOLAS requirements. Option A is too general, Option C is too restrictive, and Option D is not a mandatory requirement under SOLAS.
