70% to passConsidering the manning requirements for U.S. vessels (100 gross tons and above), your cargo vessel has a deck crew of 20 men, exclusive of the officers. How many of these men do the manning regulations require to be Able Seamen?
A
5
B
7
C
10
D
13
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 13. According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, for a cargo vessel of 100 gross tons and above, the manning requirements specify that at least 65% of the deck crew, exclusive of officers, must be Able Seamen. With a deck crew of 20 men, 65% of that would be 13 Able Seamen. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the 65% Able Seamen requirement set forth in the regulations. 5 Able Seamen would be less than 65%, 7 Able Seamen would be less than 65%, and 10 Able Seamen would also be less than 65% of the 20-person deck crew.
