Question 1 of 27070

A 750-foot passenger vessel operating on the Great Lakes, not subject to SOLAS regulations, is required to carry how many ring life buoys?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ring life buoy requirements for passenger vessels in 46 CFR (Lifesaving equipment regulations) • Special provisions for Great Lakes passenger vessels that are not subject to SOLAS • How the number of ring life buoys scales with vessel length in the applicable CFR table or section

💭 Think About

• First, identify which Subchapter and Part of 46 CFR apply to a 750-foot passenger vessel on the Great Lakes that is not SOLAS. Is it using the domestic passenger-vessel rules or the SOLAS-based ones? • Locate the specific CFR table or paragraph that lists the minimum number of ring life buoys by vessel length. Compare the breakpoints (e.g., under 100 m, over 100 m, etc.) to a 750-foot vessel. • Think about whether the largest length category in the table has a capped maximum number of ring buoys, and which of the answer choices looks like that “top tier” value.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are looking at the correct CFR subchapter for passenger vessels (not cargo or small passenger). • Confirm the length range that includes 750 feet in the ring-buoy table and read the corresponding minimum number carefully. • Make sure the vessel’s status (Great Lakes, not SOLAS) doesn’t shift it into a different table or reduced requirement before choosing your answer.
