Question 801 Deck General

The correct answer is C) National Cargo Bureau, Inc. The National Cargo Bureau, Inc. is authorized to assist the U.S. Coast Guard in the inspection of vessels for the suitability of loading hazardous materials. This is because the National Cargo Bureau has the specialized expertise and experience to evaluate the safety and compliance of cargo loading operations, particularly for hazardous or dangerous goods. The Coast Guard relies on the National Cargo Bureau's assessments to ensure vessels meet the regulatory requirements for transporting hazardous materials. The other options are incorrect because the U.S. Navy explosive loading details are not involved in the inspection of commercial vessels, the American Bureau of Shipping focuses on the overall vessel inspection and certification, and the Environmental Protection Agency's role is in regulating the materials themselves rather than the vessel's suitability for loading.
