Question 232General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is B) being responsible for an oil spill ashore. The reason this is the correct answer is that the Coast Guard can suspend or revoke an engineer's license for actions related to the operation of the vessel, such as being responsible for an oil spill. This is covered under regulations governing marine environmental protection. The other answer choices, such as having wages garnished, failure to attend safety meetings, or conviction of a misdemeanor ashore, are not directly related to the engineer's duties and performance on the vessel, and would not be grounds for suspension or revocation of the engineer's license.
