70% to pass

The number of certificated able seamen and lifeboatmen required on board is listed in the _______________.

A Certificate of Inspection
B Safety of Life at Sea Convention
C American Bureau of Shipping code
D Muster List ("Station Bill")
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard for a vessel lists the minimum number of certificated able seamen and lifeboatmen required to be carried on board. This requirement is set by the Coast Guard regulations and is included in the COI to ensure the vessel has sufficient qualified personnel to operate the vessel's lifesaving equipment in an emergency. The other options are incorrect because: B) The Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention does not directly specify the number of able seamen and lifeboatmen, C) The American Bureau of Shipping code is a private industry standard, not a regulatory requirement, and D) The Muster List outlines the specific duties of the crew in an emergency, but does not dictate the minimum manning levels.
