AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) be 79 or more feet in length. According to the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, a vessel must be 79 feet (24 meters) or more in length to be issued an International Tonnage Certificate. This certificate is required for vessels engaged in international voyages, regardless of whether they are involved in intercoastal or international trade. The other options are incorrect - the vessel does not need a Certificate of Inspection or to admeasure over 100 GT to qualify for an International Tonnage Certificate, only to meet the 79-foot length requirement.
