Are hard liquor and glass permitted on the vessel?

• A. No hard liquor is permitted, and no glass is permitted.
• B. Hard liquor is permitted, and glass is allowed.
• C. Hard liquor is not permitted, but glass is allowed.
• D. Hard liquor is permitted, but glass is not permitted.

Answer: (A)

Hard liquor and glass are prohibited on the vessel to maximize safety. Alcohol on board can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time, which is especially risky when navigating, handling lines, or responding to emergencies. Glass containers create a tangible danger because they can break on a moving deck, producing sharp shards that can injure crew or contaminate equipment and water supplies. To keep everyone safe and avoid these hazards, the rule is to ban both hard liquor and glass. Other options would either allow impaired performance or expose crew to injury from broken glass, so this combination aligns with the safest, most cautious operating standards. If transporting beverages, use non-glass, non-alcoholic containers to stay compliant and reduce risk.
