Your 550 GT vessel is equipped with a free fall lifeboat. Where should the SART units be stowed to meet SOLAS requirements?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — one unit stowed in the lifeboat and one unit in the immediate vicinity of the navigation bridge
SOLAS Chapter III regulations require one SART to be stowed in the survival craft (such as a lifeboat or liferaft) and another readily accessible unit placed near the navigation bridge for immediate bridge wing deployment.
