What is required to be posted in the pilothouse of a vessel?

A Company Mission Statement
B Maneuvering Characteristics
C Official Crew List
D Certificate of Inspection
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Maneuvering Characteristics. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the maneuvering characteristics of a vessel, including turning circle and stopping distances, must be posted in the pilothouse. This information is critical for the safe operation of the vessel, as it allows the captain and crew to understand the vessel's handling capabilities and make informed decisions during navigation. The other options are incorrect because they are not required to be posted in the pilothouse. The company mission statement (A) and official crew list (C) are not directly related to the safe navigation of the vessel. The certificate of inspection (D) is an important document, but it is not required to be posted in the pilothouse.
