70% to pass

You are offloading garbage to another ship. Your records must identify that ship by name and show her _______________.

A home port
B Master
C official number
D next port-of-call
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) official number. When offloading garbage to another ship, the Coast Guard regulations require that the records identify the receiving ship by its official number. The official number is a unique identification number assigned to every documented vessel in the United States, and it must be included in the records to track the transfer of the garbage. The other options, such as the ship's home port, master, or next port-of-call, are not required for this specific record-keeping purpose.
