Question 2890 Deck General

70% to pass

You are Master of a U.S. flag vessel which was dry docked for bottom cleaning in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Upon return to a U.S. port, you must _______________.

A file a report of the dry docking with the U.S.C.G. Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection
B file no extra reports
C file a customs' form for duty on this repair
D obtain a U.S. Coast Guard diver to certify the work
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) file a customs' form for duty on this repair. When a U.S. flag vessel undergoes repairs or maintenance outside of the United States, the owner or master must file a customs form to declare the cost of the work done. This is required by U.S. customs regulations, as the repair work performed in a foreign country is subject to import duty when the vessel returns to a U.S. port. The other options are incorrect because: A) filing a report with the USCG is not required for a routine dry docking; B) not filing any forms would be a violation of customs regulations; and D) obtaining a USCG diver certification is not necessary for a basic dry docking operation performed overseas.
