Question 3163 Deck General

70% to pass

A copy of the Articles of Agreement, less the signatures, is required to be posted. What is this document called?

A Shipping Articles
B Voyage Agreement
C Forecastle Card
D Articles Copy
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Forecastle Card. The Forecastle Card is the document that contains a copy of the Articles of Agreement, minus the signatures, that must be posted as per Coast Guard regulations for Merchant Mariners. The Articles of Agreement is the legal contract between the ship's captain and the crew, and the Forecastle Card provides the crew with access to this important document while onboard. The other options are incorrect - "Shipping Articles" and "Voyage Agreement" are not the specific names for this posted document, and "Articles Copy" is too general and does not accurately describe the purpose and contents of the Forecastle Card.
