Question 2852 Deck General
70% to passYou are signing on a crew. Which person is presenting a Merchant Mariner's Document (MMD) that you should suspect as being invalid?
A
A seaman with an MMD only endorsed as "Bosun"
B
An AB with an endorsement of "Any unlicensed rating in the deck department including Able Seaman"
C
A Purser with an MMD only endorsed "See certificate of registry"
D
A Chief Steward with an MMD only endorsed as "Steward's Dept. (FH)"
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A seaman with an MMD only endorsed as "Bosun". The reason this is the correct answer is that a Merchant Mariner's Document (MMD) should have an endorsement that matches the position the individual is seeking to fill. An endorsement of only "Bosun" would be insufficient to serve in any other unlicensed deck department position, as it is a specialized endorsement. The other options (B, C, D) all have MMD endorsements that are appropriate for the positions they are seeking to fill.
