70% to pass

The Certificate of Inspection of a damaged tank barge has expired. What certificate authorizes the barge to move to a repair facility for repair and inspection?

A Application for Inspection
B Permit to Proceed
C Change of Employment
D Temporary Certificate of Inspection
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Permit to Proceed. When the Certificate of Inspection of a damaged tank barge has expired, the vessel is not authorized to operate. However, a Permit to Proceed allows the vessel to be moved to a repair facility for necessary repairs and inspections to renew the Certificate of Inspection. This permit is issued by the Coast Guard and provides temporary authorization for the limited movement of the vessel under specified conditions. The other options are incorrect because: A) an Application for Inspection is not the proper document to authorize the movement of a vessel with an expired Certificate of Inspection, C) a Change of Employment does not apply in this scenario, and D) a Temporary Certificate of Inspection is not the correct document to authorize the vessel's movement to a repair facility.
