Which category of able seaman is not authorized to be counted as an able seaman on a seagoing tug of over 100 gross tons?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 12 requirements for Able Seaman endorsements • Difference between Able Seaman–Unlimited, Limited, Special, Special (OSV) and where each can be used • Definition of a seagoing vessel over 100 GRT and how that affects manning

💭 Think About

• Look at which AB endorsements are restricted to certain types of vessels or routes and which are valid on any seagoing vessel over 100 GRT • Ask yourself: Does an OSV (Offshore Supply Vessel)-specific endorsement apply to all tugs, or only to a certain service? • Consider which AB categories are typically allowed on oceangoing tugs in international or coastwise service

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR 12.405–12.407 (or current equivalent) which endorsements are limited to Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) only • Check which AB endorsements are specifically authorized to serve on seagoing vessels of 100 GRT or more • Confirm whether a tug over 100 GRT is treated as a seagoing vessel for AB manning purposes under the regulations
