Question 2876 Deck General

70% to pass

The number of able seamen required on board is stated in the _______________.

A Classification Certificate
B American Bureau of Shipping code
C SOLAS Certificate
D Certificate of Inspection
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard specifies the manning requirements for a vessel, including the number of able seamen required on board. The COI is the primary document that outlines the safety and operational standards a vessel must meet, including crew complement, to operate legally. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly specify the required number of able seamen. The Classification Certificate, American Bureau of Shipping code, and SOLAS Certificate are related to vessel design, construction, and international safety standards, but do not dictate the specific crew composition.
