According to Coast Guard Regulations (46 CFR Part 199), all United States merchant vessels are required to have muster lists to be posted __________.
• 46 CFR Part 199 – Lifesaving Systems: requirements for muster lists and emergency instructions • Purpose of a muster list (who it must inform and where crew/passengers will actually see it) • Difference between must locations vs. places where it is simply useful but not specifically required
• Think about who needs to read the muster list quickly during an emergency and where those people usually are located on board. • Ask yourself: does the regulation focus only on operational control spaces (like bridge/engine room), or also on where the crew lives and gathers? • Consider whether the regulation specifies one exact location, multiple specific locations, or uses broader wording that would imply more than one of the choices.
• Check 46 CFR Part 199 wording for "must be posted" and note every location explicitly named. • Verify whether the rule mentions only officers’ work areas (bridge/engine room) or also crew accommodation spaces. • Confirm if the regulation lists separate mandatory locations that, when combined, would cover more than one of the answer choices.
