Question 3154 Deck General

70% to pass

If there are any changes in the crew in a foreign port, the changes will be made by _______________.

A U.S. Consul on the Shipping Articles
B the Master on the Shipping Articles
C U.S. Consul on the Certified Crew List
D the Master on the Certified Crew List
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) the Master on the Shipping Articles. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, any changes in the crew while in a foreign port must be made by the Master on the Shipping Articles. The Master, who is the captain of the vessel, is responsible for maintaining the Shipping Articles, which is the official record of the crew members. Any additions, deletions, or other changes to the crew must be documented by the Master on the Shipping Articles. The other answer choices are incorrect because the U.S. Consul does not have the authority to make changes to the Shipping Articles, and the Certified Crew List is a separate document from the Shipping Articles.
