Question 1612Navigation General70% to pass
The owner or Master of a towing vessel shall ensure that all tests and inspections of gear take place and are logged _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) before embarking on a voyage of more than 24 hours.
The reasoning for this is that the owner or Master of a towing vessel is required to ensure that all tests and inspections of the vessel's gear take place and are logged before embarking on a voyage that is longer than 24 hours. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the maritime industry.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. Weekly or daily inspections, or inspections on each watch, are not sufficient to meet the regulation, which specifically mandates inspections before voyages exceeding 24 hours.
