Question 2766Deck General70% to pass
The Master may have his/her Merchant Mariner Credential suspended or revoked for which of the following?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) being negligent.
The Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) issued by the US Coast Guard can be suspended or revoked if the holder is found to be negligent in the performance of their duties. Negligence, which is the failure to exercise reasonable care, is grounds for disciplinary action against the credential holder. This is outlined in the Coast Guard's regulations and policies governing the MMC.
The other options, such as carrying stowaways (A) or sailing shorthanded (B), may result in violations or other issues, but they are not directly linked to suspension or revocation of the MMC in the same way as negligence. Negligence is a more serious offense that can lead to the credential holder losing their license or document.
