🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR passenger vessel inspection requirements • Purpose of the Certificate of Inspection (COI) • What "conspicuous" means in the context of documents for passengers

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Who is the COI primarily meant to inform on a passenger vessel, and where are those people most likely to see it? • Compare each option: Which locations are clearly for crew only, and which are clearly visible/accessible to passengers? • Think about other documents (like station bills or safety instructions). Where are they required to be posted so that everyone they apply to can actually read them?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option clearly states visibility to passengers, not just availability to crew • Check if the regulation specifies "conspicuous place" or a very specific room like dining room or bridge • Eliminate any answer choices that limit the posting to areas where passengers are unlikely to go (e.g., strictly crew spaces)
