Question 2872Deck General70% to pass
An alien crewmember with a D-1 permit leaves the vessel in a U.S. port and fails to return. The first report you make should be to the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Immigration Service.
When a crewmember with a D-1 permit leaves the vessel in a U.S. port and fails to return, the first report should be made to the Immigration Service. This is because the D-1 permit is issued by the Immigration Service, and they have the primary responsibility for monitoring the status and location of foreign crewmembers in the United States.
The other options are incorrect because the local police and Customs Service do not have the primary jurisdiction over a foreign crewmember's immigration status, and the OCMI (Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection) is more involved in vessel safety and operations, rather than immigration matters.
