A passenger with a mobility impairment is joining a charter. What pre-planning consideration does good practice (and the underlying intent of Part B's passenger safety provisions) require, beyond simply welcoming them aboard?

A. Identify in advance how this guest would be assisted to a muster station and into a survival craft in an emergency, and brief the relevant crew specifically — generic muster procedures designed around fully mobile guests may not work for this individual without advance planning

B. This consideration only applies to guests who proactively disclose a mobility issue in writing before booking, with no obligation to ask

C. No special consideration is needed; the standard passenger briefing covers every guest equally regardless of mobility

D. Mobility-impaired guests should simply be advised not to charter yachts, rather than planning for their needs

A. A safety briefing is only required if a passenger specifically requests one

B. No safety briefing is required if the charter is less than 24 hours in duration

C. A muster/safety briefing covering emergency signals, muster stations, life jacket location and use, and basic emergency procedures, given before or shortly after departure — not assumed to be unnecessary because guests are "experienced" or have sailed before

D. Safety briefings are only mandatory for first-time charter guests, not repeat clients

A. Passengers are excluded entirely from any emergency procedure and are expected to remain in their cabins regardless of the emergency type

B. Passengers are not trained crew and cannot be relied upon to perform emergency duties — the Code's provisions (briefing content, muster procedures, crew-to-passenger ratios for assistance) are built around crew actively managing and guiding passengers through an emergency, not passengers being expected to self-manage

C. Passengers are expected to perform identical emergency duties to trained crew once briefed

D. There is no meaningful distinction between passenger and crew responsibilities under the Code
