While assigned to a 150 GRT vessel, you are required to sign "foreign" articles on a voyage from New Orleans to which port?

Correct Answer: Option A — Cristobal Colon, Panama

Under 46 U.S.C. 10301, vessels of at least 75 GRT engaged in foreign voyages between U.S. ports and foreign ports (excluding Canada, Mexico, and the West Indies) require shipping articles. Cristobal, Panama, is a foreign port outside the exempted regions, necessitating formal foreign articles for the vessel's voyage.
