Question 2512 Deck General
70% to passThe owner or Master of a towing vessel that tows astern must keep records of the towline(s) that include all of the following information EXCEPT _______________.
The correct answer is A) an invoice showing the cost of the towline. The reason this is the correct answer is that the regulations for towing vessels do not require the owner or Master to keep records of the cost or invoice for the towline. The required information that must be recorded includes the towline's history of loading, its initial minimum breaking strength, and the nautical miles of use or time in service. An invoice showing the cost of the towline is not a piece of information that is mandated to be kept as part of the towline records. The other answer choices B, C, and D are all correct pieces of information that the owner or Master must maintain records of, as per the applicable regulations for towing vessels.
