Deck Safety (Supplementary) USCG Q#2908 (Set 6)

What will NOT be found on the Certificate of Inspection of an ocean going tankship?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Minimum freeboard permitted

Under 46 CFR 31.05-1, a Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection (COI) specifies operating routes, crew manning levels, cargo grades allowed, and safety equipment. The minimum permitted freeboard and maximum load draft are assigned by a recognized classification society and recorded on the International Load Line Certificate, not the COI.
