Question 2964 Deck General
70% to passWhile assigned to a 106 GRT vessel, you are required to sign "foreign" articles on a voyage from San Francisco to which port?
A
Mazatlan, Mexico (west coast)
B
Vera Cruz, Mexico (east coast)
C
New York, NY
D
Vancouver, Canada (west coast)
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) New York, NY. When a vessel is required to sign "foreign" articles, it means the vessel is traveling to a foreign port, which includes any port outside of the United States. Since the voyage is from San Francisco to New York, NY, this would be considered a foreign voyage, as New York is a domestic US port, not an international one. The other options, Mazatlan and Veracruz in Mexico, as well as Vancouver, Canada, are all international ports, so they would not require signing "foreign" articles on this voyage.
