When are Operators of Uninspected Passenger Vessels required to keep their Coast Guard credential aboard their vessel?

A only when operating more than one mile from shore
B At all times
C only when operating at night
D only when carrying passengers for hire
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) only when carrying passengers for hire. The reason for this is that the Coast Guard regulations require operators of uninspected passenger vessels (UPVs) to hold a Coast Guard credential, such as a Captain's License, only when they are carrying passengers for hire. When not carrying passengers for hire, the credential does not need to be kept aboard the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the Coast Guard's requirements for UPV operators to maintain their credentials.
