The Officers Competency Certificates Convention of 1936 applies to all of these vessels operating seaward of the boundary line EXCEPT a/an _______________.

A offshore supply vessel over 200 gross tons
B inspected towing vessel of 305 gross tons
C passenger vessel of 295 gross tons
D uninspected towing vessel of less than 200 gross tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) uninspected towing vessel of less than 200 gross tons. The Officers Competency Certificates Convention of 1936 applies to all seagoing vessels except those specifically exempted. Uninspected towing vessels of less than 200 gross tons are exempt from the requirements of the convention, as they are not considered "seagoing vessels" under the definition used in the convention. In contrast, the other options (A, B, and C) are all types of vessels that are subject to the convention's requirements, as they are either inspected vessels or exceed the 200 gross ton threshold.
