Question 1603 Deck General

The correct answer is D) one year. According to the U.S. Coast Guard's small passenger vessel regulations, a Certificate of Inspection for vessels of less than 100 gross tons carrying more than twelve passengers on an international voyage will be issued for a period of one year. This is because these vessels are subject to more frequent inspections and renewals of their certificates to ensure the continued safety of the passengers they carry on international voyages. The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because the regulations specifically state the Certificate of Inspection period is one year for these types of small passenger vessels on international voyages, rather than four, three, or two years.
