Question 3165Deck General70% to pass
On a coastwise tugboat of 199 GT, on a voyage over 600 miles, what percentage of the deck crew (excluding officers) must hold a document of able seaman?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 65%.
This is because for a coastwise tugboat of 199 GT on a voyage over 600 miles, the regulations require that 65% of the deck crew (excluding officers) must hold a document of able seaman. This requirement is outlined in 46 CFR 15.805(a)(5), which states that on vessels of 200 GT or more, engaged on a coastwise voyage of more than 600 miles, at least 65% of the deck crew (excluding officers) must be able seamen.
The other options are incorrect because 50% (B) is too low, 25% (C) is too low, and 0% (D) does not meet the regulatory requirement.
