Which certificate is NOT issued by the Coast Guard?

A Safety Equipment Certificate
B Certificate of Inspection
C Classification of Hull and Machinery
D Award of official number
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Classification of Hull and Machinery. The Coast Guard is responsible for issuing several certificates related to commercial vessels, including the Safety Equipment Certificate, Certificate of Inspection, and the assignment of an official number. However, the classification of a vessel's hull and machinery is not performed by the Coast Guard. This task is typically handled by classification societies, such as the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), which are independent organizations that specialize in evaluating and certifying the design, construction, and maintenance of marine vessels and offshore structures.
