Correct Answer: Option B — a vessel 500 Gross Tons on an international voyage

SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 15, and 46 CFR 78.45-1 mandate that passenger vessels on international voyages of 500 gross tons or more must permanently exhibit fire control plans. These plans assist the crew and shore-based firefighting teams in locating fire protection equipment and identifying structural fire protection boundaries during emergencies.
