🔍 Key Concepts

• Small passenger vessel lifesaving requirements in cold water operations • Specific percentage of persons that inflatable buoyant apparatus must cover on coastwise routes for wooden vessels • The option to use alternate compliance (collision bulkhead standards + life floats) in place of higher inflatable apparatus capacity

💭 Think About

• First, think about why cold water operations are treated more strictly in the regulations. How would cold water affect how many people need rapid access to buoyant apparatus? • Compare the percentages in the choices: which one best matches the idea of providing substantial, but not necessarily 100%, inflatable buoyant apparatus coverage? • How does the availability of alternate requirements (collision bulkhead standards and life floats) suggest that the primary inflatable apparatus requirement is relatively demanding?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the small passenger vessel lifesaving requirements for wooden vessels on coastwise routes in cold water in 46 CFR Subchapter T, focusing on inflatable buoyant apparatus percentage requirements. • Confirm which option in the CFR links inflatable buoyant apparatus capacity with an alternative that involves collision bulkhead standards and life floats. • Verify that the percentage you select is explicitly tied to inflatable buoyant apparatus (not life rafts, not life floats alone) for this specific vessel type and route.
