Question 2923 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) is the key document that outlines the details of a tank vessel, including the cargoes it is authorized to carry, the required manning levels, and the safety equipment that must be on board. The COI is issued by the US Coast Guard and details the vessel's operational limitations and requirements to ensure safe operation. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Safety Construction Certificate deals with the structural requirements of the vessel, not its operations. C) The Cargo Gear Certificate covers the testing and maintenance of the vessel's cargo handling equipment. D) The Declaration of Inspection is a separate document used to verify the condition of the vessel and cargo prior to a specific transfer operation.
