70% to pass

A vessel is to make a voyage between New York and San Juan, Puerto Rico, and return. The crew should be signed on _______________.

A no articles
B Foreign Articles
C Intercoastal Articles
D Coastwise Articles
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Coastwise Articles. The reasoning for this is that a voyage between New York and San Juan, Puerto Rico, falls under the definition of a "coastwise" voyage, as it is a trip along the coast of the United States. According to regulations, vessels engaged in coastwise trade are required to have their crew signed on under "Coastwise Articles." The other options, such as "no articles" or "Foreign Articles," would not be appropriate for this type of domestic, coastwise voyage.
