Question 2203Deck General70% to pass
Your load line certificate expires on 27 May 1988. The vessel is surveyed on that date and is found satisfactory. You are sailing foreign the same day. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) The existing certificate is extended for a period of up to 150 days.
This is correct because under the load line convention, when a vessel is surveyed and found satisfactory on the date of expiration of the existing load line certificate, the certificate can be extended for a period of up to 150 days from the expiration date, to allow the vessel to proceed to a port where a new certificate can be issued.
The other options are incorrect because A) the certificate cannot simply be extended until the first foreign port, B) a new certificate does not need to be issued immediately, and C) the certificate is not endorsed for a 5-year period, but rather extended for up to 150 days.
