BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What equipment for fog signals is required for a vessel 15 meters in length?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Whistle only.
According to the regulations for vessels 15 meters in length or more, the required fog signal equipment is a whistle. This is specified in both the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules. Vessels of this size are not required to have a bell or gong for fog signals.
The other options are incorrect because a bell or gong is not mandated for a 15-meter vessel, and the combination of a whistle, bell, and gong is only required for larger vessels.
