Which of the following responsibilities should you assume once you have agreed to assist a disabled vessel?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — All personnel on the disabled vessel don life jackets
Ensuring all personnel on a disabled vessel don life jackets is a fundamental safety priority before initiating any towing operation. This mitigates immediate drowning risks should personnel fall overboard during the transition of towing gear or due to sudden unexpected movements.
