🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS passenger ship safety certificate requirements • Definition of a T-Boat (small passenger vessel under 100 gross tons) versus SOLAS ‘passenger ship’ • When SOLAS applies: international voyage and number of passengers thresholds

💭 Think About

• Which of these options clearly involves an international voyage, and how does that relate to SOLAS applying? • How does SOLAS define a passenger ship compared to a domestic small passenger vessel inspected under U.S. Subchapter T? • Look at the passenger number in each option: which threshold sounds like the one associated with SOLAS ‘passenger ship’ rules rather than just U.S. domestic T-Boat rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice specifically mentions an international voyage. • Recall that SOLAS passenger ship rules are generally for passenger ships on international voyages, not purely domestic small passenger vessels. • Confirm the passenger-count threshold that changes a vessel from being treated as a small passenger vessel domestically to a SOLAS passenger ship on an international voyage.
