Which United States Code allows authorities to terminate a voyage for recreational vessels?

The United States Code section that specifically allows authorities to terminate a voyage for recreational vessels is 46 USC § 4308. This provision gives Coast Guard personnel the authority to prohibit the operation of a recreational vessel if they believe that the vessel poses a danger to the safety or welfare of the vessel, its passengers, or others. This legal backing is crucial for enhancing maritime safety and ensuring that recreational boating activity does not compromise operational safety standards.

The other options address various aspects of maritime law, such as issues related to the operation of vessels, licensing, or standards of safety but do not directly provide the specific authority needed to terminate a voyage for recreational vessels. Understanding the role and function of each section within the United States Code helps clarify the legal framework surrounding maritime operations and the Coast Guard's enforcement capabilities.
