Where should a tank barge's Certificate of Inspection be kept?

A In the owner's office
B On the towboat
C In the operator's office
D On the barge
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) On the barge. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) for a tank barge must be kept on the barge itself, as per U.S. Coast Guard regulations. This ensures that the COI, which details the barge's operational and safety requirements, is readily available for inspection by Coast Guard personnel. The COI is a crucial document that must be present on the vessel it applies to. The other options are incorrect because the COI should not be kept in the owner's or operator's office, as it needs to be accessible on the barge at all times. Similarly, keeping the COI on the towboat instead of the barge would not comply with the regulations.
