Who arranges the time, date, and location for a vessel inspection?

• A. The PVO
• B. The vessel owner
• C. The Marine Service Bureau
• D. MR&V

Answer: (B)

Scheduling a vessel inspection is handled by the vessel owner because they are responsible for keeping the vessel in compliance and making it available for checks. The owner controls where the vessel is located, when it can be presented, and has the records and equipment on hand that the inspector will review. The inspecting authority or service providers conduct the inspection, but it’s the owner who initiates and coordinates the time, date, and place to suit both parties.
