How can you determine which grades of cargo a tank vessel is permitted to carry?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — refer to the vessel's Certificate of Inspection
The Certificate of Inspection (COI) is the primary legal document issued by the USCG that specifies the vessel's authorized service, route, and the grades of cargo it is permitted to carry. Operators must consult the COI to ensure compliance with safety regulations and structural design limitations.
