70% to pass

A vessel's Certificate of Documentation _______________.

A must be carried on board
B must be posted under transparent material in the pilothouse
C may be retained by the owner at the home port OR kept on the vessel
D must be kept on file at the corporate offices of the owner or operator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) must be carried on board. The Certificate of Documentation is a federal document that identifies a vessel and its ownership, and it must be carried on board the vessel at all times. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR 67.303), which states that "The Certificate of Documentation must be on board the vessel for which it is issued whenever the vessel is being operated." The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirement for the Certificate of Documentation to be carried on board the vessel. Options B, C, and D provide alternative locations for the certificate, but these do not meet the regulatory standard.
