The number of approved adult life jackets...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Small passenger vessel regulations in 46 CFR Subchapter T (life-saving equipment requirements) • Difference between maximum persons allowed by the COI (Certificate of Inspection) and actual persons on board at any given voyage • Whether lifejacket requirements are based on a percentage or on all persons who may be carried

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: are lifejacket requirements normally set to cover just the people actually on board, or the maximum number you are allowed to carry? • Consider why the Coast Guard would choose 90%, 100%, or 120% when planning for emergencies on a passenger vessel. • Think about whether regulations usually allow fewer lifejackets than people, or if they tend to require at least enough for everyone, plus possibly some extra.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check if 46 CFR for small passenger vessels bases lifejacket numbers on the COI capacity or the actual number on board. • Verify whether regulations ever permit less than 100% coverage of persons permitted to be carried. • Confirm whether there are any provisions for extra lifejackets beyond the basic required number (e.g., for crew or different sizes).
