Question 1726 Deck General

The correct answer is B) notify the cognizant OCMI (Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection). Whenever a "T-Boat" (a small passenger vessel) is hauled out for repairs or alterations affecting its safety, the regulations require the owner or operator to notify the cognizant OCMI. This is because the OCMI is responsible for ensuring the vessel's continued compliance with safety standards. The OCMI will then determine if a full safety equipment inspection is necessary, rather than the owner scheduling it independently. The other options are incorrect because providing a complete set of plans to the Commandant is not a requirement for routine repairs, and a full safety equipment inspection is not automatically scheduled but rather determined by the OCMI based on the nature of the repairs or alterations.
