Question 3635 Deck General

The correct answer is C) be fully aware of the provisions in the operating manual. The person in charge, such as the Captain, is responsible for being fully familiar with and adhering to the provisions outlined in the vessel's operating manual. This ensures the safe operation of the vessel in accordance with established regulations and procedures. The other options, while potentially important tasks, do not directly address the core responsibility of the person in charge to have comprehensive knowledge of the operating manual.
