Question 56Deck Safety70% to pass
Your 550 GT vessel is equipped with a free fall lifeboat. Where should the SART units be stowed to meet SOLAS requirements?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) one unit stowed in the lifeboat and one unit in the immediate vicinity of the navigation bridge.
This is the correct answer because SOLAS Chapter III, Regulation 6.2.2 requires that one SART unit be stowed in the lifeboat, and another SART unit be stowed in the immediate vicinity of the navigation bridge. This ensures that a SART unit is available both in the lifeboat and near the primary navigation and control station of the vessel.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the SOLAS requirements. Option A) is incorrect as it does not specify the second SART unit being in the immediate vicinity of the navigation bridge. Option C) is incorrect as it does not specify the required locations for the SART units. Option D) is incorrect as it does not have the SART unit in the lifeboat as required.
