70% to pass

You are signing on crew members. The minimum number of people required aboard, and the qualifications of each, is listed on the _______________.

A Articles of Agreement
B Certificate of Inspection
C fo'c'sle card
D Crew list
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) is the official document issued by the U.S. Coast Guard that specifies the minimum number and qualifications of crew members required to be aboard a vessel. The COI lists the vessel's operating requirements, including the minimum safe manning levels and the necessary licenses or endorsements for the crew. This ensures the vessel is operated safely with the appropriate personnel. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Articles of Agreement do not specify crew requirements, B) The fo'c'sle card is not an official Coast Guard document, and D) The crew list is a separate document from the COI.
