USCG Exam Practice · Vessel documentation and numbering
The maneuvering information required by 33 CFR §164.35(g) is based on specific baseline conditions. Which of the following is one of those baseline conditions?
- AWind speed of 15 knots or less with moderate sea state
- BWater depth equal to the vessel's draft
- CNo current✓ correct
- DVessel at maximum loaded displacement
Why C is correct
33 CFR §164.35(g)(6) lists the baseline conditions as: calm weather (wind 10 knots or less, calm sea); no current; deep water (water depth twice the vessel's draft or greater); and clean hull. 'No current' is explicitly one of those conditions.
