Operators of ships greater than how many tons must have the most recent editions of required charts, documents, and publications onboard?

  1. 50 tons

  2. 100 tons

  3. 150 tons

  4. 200 tons

The correct answer is: 100 tons

Ships greater than 100 tons must have the most recent editions of required charts, documents, and publications onboard. This is because larger ships carry more passengers and cargo, making it even more crucial to have up-to-date information and resources for safe navigation. Choosing A or C as the answer would not match the regulations set in place. B provides the best balance between smaller and larger ships. Option D may seem like a more extreme choice, but even smaller ships can carry loads weighing over 200 tons, making it necessary for them to also have the most recent editions of required materials onboard.
