Question 3078Deck General70% to pass
Your enrolled vessel is bound from Baltimore, MD, to Norfolk, VA, via Chesapeake Bay. Which statement about the required Pilot is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The Pilot need only be credentialed by the Coast Guard.
The reasoning for this is that when transiting between two U.S. ports, such as Baltimore, MD and Norfolk, VA, via Chesapeake Bay, a federal waterway, the vessel is not required to have a state-credentialed pilot. The Coast Guard credential is sufficient, as the Coast Guard has jurisdiction over federal waterways. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they would require additional state-level pilot credentials, which are not necessary for this type of voyage.
