Certain equipment aboard vessels, inspected under the small passenger vessel regulations, is required to be marked with the vessel's name. Which items are included in this requirement? (small passenger vessel regulations)
• 46 CFR Subchapter T small passenger vessel regulations • Marking requirements for life-saving appliances (life jackets, life floats, lifebuoys, etc.) • Difference between navigational/ship’s gear vs. personal life-saving equipment
• Which group of items, if they were lost or used on another vessel, would most need clear identification with a specific vessel’s name for safety and accountability? • Think about which categories of equipment the Coast Guard wants to be traceable to a particular vessel in the event of an accident or inspection. • Among the choices, which items are clearly part of life-saving equipment, as opposed to normal ship’s gear or hotel/galley items?
• Verify which items are classified in the regulations as life-saving appliances under small passenger vessel rules. • Check whether the regulations require PFDs (life jackets) and other flotation devices to be marked with the vessel’s name. • Confirm that ordinary ship furnishings (like bunks or tableware) and general ship’s equipment (like anchors, paint, fuel drums) are not covered by the name-marking requirement.
