Galley size classifications are used to categorize what feature on a vessel?

• A. Galley capacity
• B. Engine horsepower
• C. Hull length
• D. Deck width

Answer: (A)

Galley size classifications are used to categorize the kitchen’s capacity on a vessel—the amount of food that can be prepared and served for the crew, usually tied to crew size or meals per day. This directly reflects the galley’s size, equipment, and space. Engine horsepower, hull length, and deck width describe propulsion and hull dimensions, not the kitchen’s capability, so they don’t fit the concept of galley size. Thus, galley size classifications pertain to galley capacity.
