Question 1 of 27070

According to Small Passenger Vessels Regulations, a vessel of less than 100 gross registered tons must be inspected by the Coast Guard when they carry more than how many passengers?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T – Small Passenger Vessels (Under 100 Gross Tons) • The definition of a small passenger vessel versus an uninspected passenger vessel in 46 CFR • How many passengers triggers USCG inspection and certification requirements for these small vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about the difference between a small boat that takes just a handful of paying passengers on a casual trip and a vessel that the Coast Guard would require to be formally inspected and certificated. • Recall the typical passenger limit for an uninspected passenger vessel and consider what happens when that limit is exceeded. • Ask yourself: at what passenger count does the law treat the operation as a higher‑risk commercial activity that needs Coast Guard oversight?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter T (Small Passenger Vessels) where it describes which vessels the subchapter applies to, especially the phrase "carrying more than X passengers". • Confirm the definition of an uninspected passenger vessel in 46 CFR and note the maximum number of passengers it may carry. • Make sure you distinguish between "up to and including" a certain number of passengers and "more than" that number when comparing the answer choices.
