Q

According to small passenger vessel regulations, while serving as Master on board your vessel, what should be done with your credential?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T – Small Passenger Vessels regulations • Requirements for a licensed Master’s credential while serving on board • Difference between where a credential is displayed versus where it must be kept/possessed

💭 Think About

• Think about who may need to inspect your credential while you are acting as Master and where you would physically be at that time. • Ask yourself which option would make it easiest for the Coast Guard or an authorized official to verify that the person in charge is properly licensed. • Consider whether the regulation is focused on public display on shore, long‑term storage, or immediate availability to the person exercising the authority of Master.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter T what is said about the Master’s license/credential being carried or available on board. • Check whether any regulation requires a credential to be displayed at home or in a shore-side office – does that sound practical for an underway inspection? • Confirm which option ensures the credential is readily available for inspection on the vessel where you are serving as Master.
