Question 2999 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Certificate of Inspection. When moving a gas free tank barge to dry dock for repairs, the barge must have a valid Certificate of Inspection (COI) onboard. The COI is a document issued by the U.S. Coast Guard that certifies a vessel's compliance with applicable safety, equipment, and operational requirements. It is a critical document that must be maintained for the barge to legally operate. The other options are incorrect because a Gas Free Certificate is not required for the barge's movement, and a Permit to Proceed and Hot Work Permit would be required separately for any hot work activities during the repair process, but are not necessary for the barge's movement alone.
