Question 2917 Deck General

70% to pass

An Official Logbook is required on which vessel?

A A 150-G.T. tug going from Boston to New Orleans.
B A 100-G.T. tug going from New York to San Pedro, California.
C A 50-G.T. tug going from Miami to Seattle.
D A 199-G.T. tug on a coastwise trip of 650 miles.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) A 100-G.T. tug going from New York to San Pedro, California. An Official Logbook is required on any vessel 100 gross tons or over that is engaged in coastwise or ocean voyages. Since the tug in option B is 100 gross tons and is going on a coastwise voyage from New York to San Pedro, California, it is required to maintain an Official Logbook. The other options are incorrect because a 150-G.T. tug (option A), a 50-G.T. tug (option C), and a 199-G.T. tug (option D) are all under 100 gross tons, so they are not required to maintain an Official Logbook.
