When a vessel is not in compliance with its Certificate of Inspection, which certificate may be issued to allow its movement to a repair facility? (small passenger vessel regulations)

Correct Answer: Option C — Permit to Proceed

A Permit to Proceed is issued under 46 CFR 176.202 when a vessel is not in full compliance with its Certificate of Inspection. This document authorizes the vessel to move to a repair facility for necessary corrective actions, provided the OCMI determines the movement can be made safely under specific conditions.
