🔍 Key Concepts

• Emergency towing arrangements requirements under SOLAS for tankers • The meaning of deadweight tonnage (dwt) thresholds in the regulations • Difference between constructed date and operated after date in compliance rules

💭 Think About

• Look at which options meet or exceed the deadweight tonnage where SOLAS starts requiring emergency towing arrangements on tankers • Consider whether the regulation applies to tankers only, or also to barges • Think about how SOLAS often distinguishes between ships constructed after a certain date and ships regardless of construction date but operated after a certain date

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are actually tankers versus barges • Determine which options are above the key dwt threshold for the emergency towing arrangement requirement • Note whether the rule applies to ships constructed after a date, or to ships regardless of construction date but in operation after a date, and match that to the wording in the choices
