🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for maintenance and testing of lifesaving appliances on vessels over 1600 GRT on international voyages • The difference between recordkeeping/documentation requirements and company best practices • What actions are explicitly required by regulation after completing maintenance on lifesaving equipment

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: After maintenance on critical lifesaving equipment, what does 46 CFR specifically require the vessel to do that is verifiable by an inspector? • Consider which option describes a requirement that would apply every time this maintenance is done, not just in special situations. • Think about what the Coast Guard would look for during a Port State Control or inspection to confirm this work was properly completed.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which answer choice directly supports regulatory compliance and traceability of maintenance work. • Verify whether 46 CFR requires routine notification to the USCG every time maintenance is completed, or only in special cases. • Confirm whether ordering spare parts or waiting for the next weekly test are mandated steps in 46 CFR after annual lifeboat engine maintenance, or just operational decisions.
