🔍 Key Concepts

• Minimum safe manning requirements for inspected vessels • What legal/official documents are issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for an inspected vessel • Difference between an internal shipboard list and an official regulatory certificate

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these documents is an official government-issued certificate that states what the vessel is allowed to do and under what conditions? • Which option would a Coast Guard marine inspector look at to verify that you have enough crew on board? • Which choices are internal shipboard documents that the master or company can change, versus a formal statutory document?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which document is issued and signed by the U.S. Coast Guard for an inspected vessel • Confirm which document lists the required number and ratings of crew as a legal condition of operation • Eliminate any document that is only an internal company/ship list and not a regulatory certificate
