Q

On a documented small passenger vessel, what information must be permanently affixed in block-type letters and/or numerals to the main beam or other clearly visible interior structural part of the hull?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for identification markings on documented vessels • Difference between markings required inside the hull vs. markings required on the exterior (bow, stern, sides) • What a vessel’s official number is used for compared to name, draft, or tonnage

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these items is specifically required to be permanently affixed to an interior structural part of the hull on a documented vessel? • Which items in the choices are normally seen on the outside of the vessel (bow, stern, sides) rather than on an internal structural member? • Consider how authorities would uniquely identify the vessel in official records: which of these items serves that purpose under documentation rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR that documented vessels must have a specific identifying number carved or permanently affixed on a main beam or other clearly visible structural part of the hull. • Separate in your mind the markings required for documentation/identification from those required for safety and loading (like drafts and tonnage). • Confirm which of the listed items is explicitly tied to the term “documented vessel” in the regulations, as opposed to just general display or safety markings.
