70% to pass

The Certificate of Inspection for a containership _______________.

A lists all of the stability limitations and conditions imposed on the vessel
B shows the due date of the quadrennial test of the cargo gear
C is issued by the Coast Guard and is usually valid for 2 years.
D must be posted under transparent material in a conspicuous place
AI Explanation

You are correct, the answer is D) must be posted under transparent material in a conspicuous place. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) for a containership, or any U.S. commercial vessel, must be posted in a conspicuous location on the vessel, typically under transparent material, as required by Coast Guard regulations. This ensures the COI, which outlines the vessel's operating limitations and conditions, is readily available for the crew and inspectors. The other options are incorrect because: A) the COI does not list all stability limitations, which would be found in the vessel's stability booklet; B) the COI does not show the cargo gear test due date, which is a separate requirement; and C) the COI is typically valid for 5 years, not 2 years.
