If you are guilty of failure to properly perform your duties as Master of Uninspected Towing Vessels, which of the following actions may NOT be taken?

Correct Answer: Option B — A fine placed against your Merchant Mariner Credential

Under 46 CFR Part 5, the USCG may suspend or revoke a Merchant Mariner Credential for misconduct, negligence, or incompetence. However, the USCG does not have the statutory authority to impose monetary fines directly against a credential; fines are typically civil penalties assessed against the vessel or owner.
