According to 46 CFR Part 199, on a cargo vessel, fire and boat drills must be held within 24 hours of leaving port if the percentage of the crew replaced is more than __________.
• 46 CFR Part 199 – Subpart A (General) and Subpart B (Requirements for All Vessels) • Specific wording about “fire and boat drills” and timing when crew is newly joined or replaced • How regulators define a significant change in crew that could affect emergency readiness
• Look up the exact sentence in 46 CFR Part 199 that mentions drills within 24 hours of leaving port and note the replacement percentage stated there. • Ask yourself: what percentage change in crew would be large enough that many people have never practiced drills on that vessel yet? • Compare each choice with what seems like a realistic threshold for when a full drill would be necessary rather than just routine familiarization.
• Verify in 46 CFR Part 199 that the rule talks about “fire and boat drills must be held within 24 hours of leaving port” and ties this specifically to a percentage of the crew replaced. • Confirm whether the regulation’s percentage is written as a decimal (e.g., 0.25) and what that represents in percent of total crew. • Double‑check that the threshold reflects a substantial portion of the crew, not just a couple of people.
