70% to pass

Deckhands onboard towing vessels shall be divided into 3 watches when the trip exceeds _______________.

A 1000 miles
B 800 miles
C 700 miles
D 600 miles
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 600 miles. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, deckhands on towing vessels must be divided into 3 watches when the trip exceeds 600 miles. This requirement is in place to ensure that the deckhands have adequate rest and can safely operate the vessel over long voyages. The other options (1000, 800, and 700 miles) are incorrect as they do not meet the 600-mile threshold specified in the regulations.
