Question 1663 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. On Subchapter T small passenger vessels, the master is required to ensure the vessel complies with all stability requirements outlined in the vessel's stability letter, Certificate of Inspection, and Load Line Certificate (if applicable) before loading passengers and departing. These documents contain the critical stability information and limits that the master must verify are met prior to the vessel's operation. The master is responsible for the overall safety of the vessel and passengers, and confirming compliance with all applicable stability requirements is a crucial part of that responsibility.
