Question 1 of 31093

🔍 Key Concepts

• Passenger count and recordkeeping requirements for small passenger vessels in 46 CFR • Difference between an Official Logbook and other required records • Typical retention periods for required logs and records on passenger vessels

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the vessel is NOT required to keep an Official Logbook, does the law still expect a relatively short-term or long-term history of passenger counts? • Think about why authorities would want access to past passenger records—rescues, casualty investigations, or audits. How far back would they reasonably need to look? • Compare this with how long other routine records (like drills, inspections, or small-vessel logs) are usually kept under 46 CFR.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter H or K (depending on vessel type) how long passenger count records must be retained. • Check that you are looking at the section that applies to vessels not required to keep an Official Logbook. • Confirm whether the specified retention period is measured in months and matches one of the multiple‑choice options.
