Which Part contains additional requirements for cargo ships?

• A. SOLAS Chapter III Part B-I
• B. SOLAS Chapter III Part B-II
• C. SOLAS Chapter III Part B-III
• D. SOLAS Chapter III Part B-IV

Answer: (C)

In SOLAS Chapter III, the life-saving provisions are organized into parts that target different ship types. The section labeled Part B-III specifically contains the extra requirements that apply to cargo ships beyond the general life-saving appliances and arrangements. This makes it the best answer because the question asks for the part that adds cargo-ship–specific requirements, not the general provisions or other ship categories covered by the other parts. The other parts address different contexts (general provisions or other ship types), so they do not cover the cargo-ship add-ons. That’s why Part B-III is the correct choice.
