Your 199 GT tugboat is on a 675 mile coastwise voyage. What percentage of the deck crew must be Able Bodied Seamen?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 65%.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, for a 199 GT tugboat on a coastwise voyage of 675 miles, 65% of the deck crew must be Able Bodied Seamen (ABs). This requirement is stipulated in 46 CFR 15.805(a)(5), which states that vessels of 100 gross tons or more on a coastwise voyage must have a minimum of 65% of the deck crew composed of ABs.
The other options are incorrect because 0% would not meet the regulatory requirement, 25% is too low, and 50% is also less than the mandated 65% for a vessel of this size and type of voyage.
