What statement is true regarding the additional equipment carriage requirement imposed for the survival craft of vessels over 500 gross tons?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS survival craft radio equipment requirements for cargo and passenger vessels over 500 GT • Difference between SART (search and rescue radar transponder) and VHF portable radios requirements • How requirements change at the 500 gross ton threshold

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When a vessel gets larger (over 500 GT), which type of GMDSS-related survival craft equipment is increased in number? • Think about which item is specifically tied to "survival craft" rather than general bridge or ship radio capability. • Which option sounds like an IMO/SOLAS-style minimum equipment rule ("at least X units") rather than a broad performance statement ("ability to communicate in all modes")?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which item is explicitly listed in SOLAS/GMDSS as additional survival craft equipment at the 500 GT breakpoint. • Check which options mention equipment that is carried in or with survival craft (lifeboats/liferafts) instead of being a shipboard or shore-based system. • Eliminate any option that describes a capability that is already required for smaller vessels, not just those over 500 GT.
