70% to pass

A credentialed Master of Towing Vessels may NOT serve as the Captain of which towing vessel?

A 99 GRT towing vessel operating on Chesapeake Bay
B 199 GRT towing vessel operating in the Gulf of Alaska
C 400 GRT towboat operating on the Western Rivers
D 375 GRT towing vessel operating between Texas and Puerto Rico
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 375 GRT towing vessel operating between Texas and Puerto Rico. A credentialed Master of Towing Vessels is not authorized to serve as the Captain of a 375 GRT towing vessel operating between Texas and Puerto Rico. This is because the credential of Master of Towing Vessels is limited to vessels less than 1,600 GRT operating in domestic, near-coastal, and Great Lakes waters. Vessels operating between Texas and Puerto Rico are considered to be in ocean service, which is outside the scope of the Master of Towing Vessels credential. The other options (A, B, and C) would be within the operational limits of a Master of Towing Vessels credential, so a credentialed Master could serve as the Captain of those vessels.
