70% to pass

Your vessel has completed an inspection for certification and is issued a temporary certificate. This _______________.

A must be posted in the vicinity of the officers' licenses
B expires six months after it is issued
C has the full force of a regular Certificate of Inspection
D must be exchanged for a regular Certificate of Inspection before going foreign or out of state
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) has the full force of a regular Certificate of Inspection. When a vessel successfully completes an inspection for certification, it is issued a temporary certificate that has the same legal force and effect as a regular Certificate of Inspection. This temporary certificate allows the vessel to operate while the regular certificate is being processed and issued. It does not expire after six months (option B) and does not need to be exchanged for a regular certificate before going foreign or out of state (option D). The temporary certificate must be posted in the vicinity of the officers' licenses, as required by regulations (option A).
