Which part under SOLAS Chapter III covers requirements for ships and life-saving appliances for passenger ships and 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 IV Part C

Answer: (A)

Chapter III is all about life-saving appliances and arrangements on ships. Within that chapter, the requirements are organized into parts under Part B. Part B-I specifically covers the requirements for ships and life-saving appliances for passenger ships and cargo ships. That makes it the correct choice because it directly addresses the equipment and provisions those vessel types must carry and maintain. The other parts under the same chapter cover different ship categories or additional provisions, not the core passenger and cargo ship scope. And SOLAS Chapter IV Part C deals with radiocommunications, not life-saving appliances, so it’s not applicable here.
