Posting requirements state that posting is:

• A. Posting is required only on vessels over 10 tons.
• B. Posting is not required onboard at all.
• C. Posting is not required for vessel under 10 tons but is always required onboard.
• D. Posting is required both onboard and offboard.

Answer: (C)

Posting requirements focus on where important information must be displayed based on the size of the vessel. For smaller vessels, the rule relaxes offboard posting, meaning you don’t have to post certain information outside the vessel. However, there is still a requirement to have the necessary postings inside the vessel so the crew can readily see them. That’s why the correct statement is that posting is not required for a vessel under 10 tons, but is always required onboard. The other options overstate or misstate the rule: posting isn’t required only on larger vessels, posting isn’t completely unnecessary onboard, and posting isn’t mandated both onboard and offboard for all vessels.
