Question 1 of 27070

SOLAS requires a logbook entry for the operation of watertight door drills. Which of the following lists the frequency that these drills are required to be conducted for passenger vessels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS Chapter II-1 requirements for watertight doors on passenger ships • How often SOLAS requires operational tests/drills for safety equipment or systems, and when a logbook entry is specifically mentioned • Differences in drill frequency for passenger vessels versus cargo vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about how critical watertight doors are to a passenger ship’s survivability in case of flooding. Would SOLAS likely require a short or long interval between these drills? • Compare the typical SOLAS drill frequencies you know: fire and boat drills, abandon ship drills, steering gear tests, etc. Which of those common intervals most closely matches the requirement for watertight door operation tests on passenger ships? • Ask yourself: if a drill is important enough that SOLAS explicitly requires a logbook entry, is it usually grouped with very frequent checks or more occasional ones?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check SOLAS Chapter II-1, regulations dealing with watertight integrity and doors on passenger ships, and look for the exact wording on drill/testing frequency. • Confirm that the requirement you’re thinking of applies specifically to passenger vessels, not cargo ships or special-purpose ships. • Verify that the chosen interval is one of the standard SOLAS timeframes (e.g., weekly, monthly, or longer) and is explicitly linked to a logbook entry requirement.
