A Cargo booms must be weight tested at this time by the U.S. Coast Guard.

B No test at this time is required.

C Cargo booms must be weight tested at this time by the National Cargo Bureau.

D Cargo booms must be weight tested at this time by the American Bureau of Shipping.

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) No test at this time is required. According to the regulations, cargo booms and other cargo equipment are not required to be weight tested during the Inspection for Certification of a vessel. The Coast Guard inspection focuses on the overall condition and safety of the vessel, but does not mandate specific testing of cargo equipment at this time. The other options suggesting that cargo booms must be weight tested by the Coast Guard, National Cargo Bureau, or American Bureau of Shipping are incorrect, as no such requirement exists for the Inspection for Certification.
