Which statement concerning a 298 GRT inspected tug engaged in towing from Seattle, WA, to Alaska is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Each crew member must be issued a certificate of discharge at the time of discharge.
This is correct because under U.S. Coast Guard regulations, all crew members on inspected vessels, including tugs, must be issued a certificate of discharge at the time they are discharged from the vessel. This requirement applies regardless of the vessel's gross tonnage or the nature of the voyage.
The other options are incorrect because: B) Crew do not need to be signed on before a Shipping Commissioner for voyages within the U.S.; C) Able seamen are required on inspected vessels over 200 GRT; and D) While a credentialed Master of Towing Vessels may serve as Master, this is not the only requirement for the vessel's Officer in Charge.
