70% to pass

As Master or person in charge, you must notify the U.S. Coast Guard if an injury leaves a crewman unfit to perform routine duties for more than which of the following time periods?

A Any amount of time
B 72 hours
C 48 hours
D 24 hours
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Any amount of time. As the Master or person in charge of a vessel, you must notify the U.S. Coast Guard if an injury leaves a crewman unfit to perform routine duties for any amount of time. This is required by Coast Guard regulations, as the Coast Guard needs to be informed of any crew injuries or incapacitations to ensure the safety of the vessel and personnel. The other options are incorrect because there is no time threshold specified in the regulations - the Coast Guard must be notified regardless of the duration of the crewman's unfitness for duty.
