🔍 Key Concepts

• Buoyant apparatus vs. liferafts vs. lifebuoys under small passenger vessel rules (46 CFR Subchapter T or K) • What equipment is required to help people STAY WITH and be SEEN on the apparatus • Which items are normally associated specifically with lifebuoys or liferafts, not with buoyant apparatus

💭 Think About

• First, picture what a buoyant apparatus actually looks like and how it is used in an emergency. Is it designed for propulsion, signaling, or simply keeping survivors together and afloat? • For each option, ask: does this help survivors stay attached to the apparatus, or is it mainly for visibility, or for moving/steering? Which function is the regulation focused on for buoyant apparatus? • Compare the equipment you know is required on lifebuoys and liferafts in the regs. Which of these four items is typically listed with those other devices rather than with buoyant apparatus?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR small passenger vessel lifesaving appliance sections what is explicitly required on a buoyant apparatus (look for lifelines and painters specifically). • Check which item is normally paired with lifebuoys in the regs (often required to be fitted ‘with’ that item). • Ask yourself: does a buoyant apparatus normally need propulsion equipment, or just means to hold on and possibly connect to the vessel or another unit?
