🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for lifeboat provisions on tankships • Differences in water requirements for oceangoing vs. coastwise routes • Minimum liters of water per person that must be permanently carried in lifeboats

💭 Think About

• Check which part of 46 CFR covers survival craft equipment for tankships, and look for specific water quantity per person • Think about whether coastwise voyages usually require more, less, or the same emergency provisions as ocean voyages • Consider that the requirement is a minimum per person; eliminate quantities that seem unrealistically low or excessive for short- to medium-range voyages

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the regulation applies specifically to tankships and not just any inspected vessel • Verify the unit in the regulation is given in liters per person, not gallons or total liters • Ensure the requirement is for coastwise route and not mistakenly reading the rule for an international/oceans route
