Question 2817 Deck General

70% to pass

You are the credentialed operator of a 100 GT towing vessel sailing coastwise. What percentage of the deck crew must be able to understand the language commonly used onboard the vessel?

A 65%
B 100%
C 50%
D 75%
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 75%. According to the regulations for the U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License, for a 100 GT towing vessel sailing coastwise, 75% of the deck crew must be able to understand the language commonly used onboard the vessel. This ensures clear communication and safety among the crew. The other options are incorrect because 65% (A) and 50% (C) do not meet the regulatory requirement, and 100% (B) is an unnecessarily high percentage that is not specified in the regulations.
