Question 2982 Deck General

70% to pass

To determine the number of able seamen required on an inspected vessel, you should check the _______________.

A Certificate of Inspection
B operations manual
C Safety of Life at Sea Certificate
D Load Line Certificate
AI Explanation

You are correct, the answer is A) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard specifies the minimum number of crew members, including able seamen, required for the safe operation of an inspected vessel. This requirement is based on factors such as the vessel's size, type, and intended service. The COI is the primary document that outlines the crew composition and other safety-related details for the vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly determine the number of able seamen required. The operations manual, Safety of Life at Sea Certificate, and Load Line Certificate may contain relevant information, but they do not explicitly specify the crew composition requirements.
