What must be included in a float plan regarding the vessel?

  1. Vessel's owner contact information

  2. Vessel's registration number, length, and make

  3. Vessel's current location

  4. Vessel's previous journey history

The correct answer is: Vessel's registration number, length, and make

Including the vessel's registration number, length, and make in a float plan is essential for various safety and identification purposes. This information helps authorities and rescue teams easily identify the vessel in the event of an emergency. The registration number is unique to each vessel and acts as an identifier in official records, while the length and make provide additional descriptive details that facilitate recognition. While contact information and current location are useful, they do not uniquely identify the vessel itself. Similarly, details about previous journeys can be informative but are not critical for identifying the vessel currently being used. A float plan primarily serves to outline information pertinent to the specific vessel being operated, making the registration number, length, and make indispensable for safety and navigation purposes.
