Question 2765 Deck General

70% to pass

While assigned to a 90 GRT vessel, you are required to sign "foreign" articles on a voyage from Philadelphia to which port?

A Baltimore, MD
B Tampico, Mexico
C Montreal, Canada
D San Francisco, CA
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) San Francisco, CA. When assigned to a 90 GRT (Gross Registered Ton) vessel, the requirement to sign "foreign" articles applies when the vessel is engaged in a voyage to a foreign port. Since San Francisco, CA is a domestic US port, it would not be considered a "foreign" port, making this the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because Baltimore, MD and Montreal, Canada are also domestic ports, while Tampico, Mexico is a foreign port. However, the question specifically states the requirement is to sign "foreign" articles, which would not apply for a voyage to a domestic US port like San Francisco.
