Lifebuoys are required for all vessels over what length?

9m in length
6m in length
12m in length
15m in length

The correct answer is: 9m in length

Vessels under 9m in length are not required to carry lifebuoys. This is because they are considered small enough to not pose a significant risk of sinking. Vessels over 9m, on the other hand, are larger and have a higher risk of sinking, which is why they are required to have lifebuoys onboard. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all represent lengths greater than 9m, which would require a lifebuoy to be carried on board.
