🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter L – Offshore Supply Vessels (OSVs) lifesaving equipment requirements • Ring life buoy requirements: total number vs. how many need buoyant lines attached • Difference between ring buoys with lifelines and ring buoys with self-activating lights or smoke

💭 Think About

• First, recall how many ring buoys are required on an OSV of typical exam size, then think about whether all of them must have lines attached or only some. • Consider why a buoyant line is used with a ring buoy. In what type of man-overboard recovery is a line essential, and in which is it not needed? • Think about how regulations often split requirements: some ring buoys with lines, some with lights, some possibly with smoke signals. How many are specifically tied to the line requirement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR how many total ring buoys are required for OSVs of the size class usually tested on exams like this. • Check the specific wording: "at least ___ ring buoys shall be fitted with a buoyant line" – focus on that phrase, not the total count. • Confirm you are not confusing the requirement for self-igniting lights or smoke signals with the separate requirement for buoyant lines.
