Your cargo vessel's Certification of Inspection expires 30 April 2002. One of your inflatable liferafts was last serviced in January 2002. The raft must be reinspected no later than __________.

Correct Answer: Option B — January 2003

Inflatable liferafts must be serviced annually at an approved facility, or not later than the expiration date of the Certificate of Inspection. Since the last service was January 2002, the next required reinspection falls exactly one year later in January 2003 under applicable safety equipment regulations.
