🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T requirements for survival craft on small passenger vessels • How cold water operations change survival craft capacity or carriage requirements • Difference between "all persons on board" vs a percentage of persons on board

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when a steel small passenger vessel operates in cold water, does the law generally become stricter or more relaxed about survival craft capacity? • Consider whether any option contains an unusual limitation (such as type of survival craft or service area) that seems too narrow for a general cold-water requirement. • Think about ocean service in cold water: would regulations be more likely to require space for everyone or allow some people not to have a place in a survival craft?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR 180 (Subchapter T) how survival craft capacity is specified for cold water operations in ocean service. • Check which options try to limit the type of survival craft (e.g., "only inflatable liferafts") and whether the regulations actually use that kind of "only" language. • Confirm whether cold-water, ocean-service rules mention survival craft for all persons on board or a fraction of persons on board.
