If someone not from CMA insists on coming aboard unescorted and without ID, what should be done immediately?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Hold them at the gangway, and call the N/M

Security protocols mandate that any individual without proper identification or authorization must be denied access at the gangway. The watch officer must immediately notify the Navigator/Mate (N/M) to handle the security breach, ensuring the vessel's integrity and compliance with the Facility Security Plan and ISPS Code requirements.
