Question 3058 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Customs. When clearing a vessel for a foreign voyage from a U.S. port, the original crew list must be duly certified by the U.S. Customs authority. Customs is responsible for overseeing the departure of vessels and their crew from the United States, including verifying the crew list. The other options are incorrect because the Public Health Service, Immigration Service, and Coast Guard do not have the authority to certify the crew list for a vessel departing on a foreign voyage. Their roles are more focused on other aspects of vessel operations and crew, but not the specific task of certifying the crew list for foreign voyages.
