The owner or Master of a towing vessel shall ensure that each person that directs and controls the movement of the vessel can accomplish all of the following EXCEPT _______________.

A adjust speed with due regard for the weather and visibility

B reduce speed only where local speed limits are posted

C evaluate the danger of each closing visual or radar contact

D enter all required test and inspection results in the vessel's log or other record carried on board

AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) reduce speed only where local speed limits are posted. The owner or Master of a towing vessel must ensure that the person directing and controlling the vessel's movement can perform all the listed tasks, except for reducing speed only where local speed limits are posted. This is because the operator should reduce speed as necessary to maintain safe operations, not just in areas with posted speed limits. The other options (A, C, and D) are all important tasks the operator must be able to accomplish.
