Question 1703 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection. Whenever an inspected vessel is dry-docked for major repairs, the person in charge of the vessel, the owner, or the agent must report this to the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection. This is a requirement under the small passenger vessel regulations, as the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection needs to be notified in order to schedule an inspection of the vessel before it can return to service. The other answer choices are incorrect because the American Boat and Yacht Council, Inc. and the National Cargo Bureau, Inc. are not the regulatory authorities responsible for overseeing small passenger vessel inspections and reporting requirements.
