🔍 Key Concepts

• Certificate of Inspection (COI) and what specific limitations it normally lists • Purpose of a Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Certificate for certain vessels and what it typically covers • What information is usually contained in a Muster List (Station Bill) vs. an Operations Manual on an MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit)

💭 Think About

• Which document is most likely to show legal limits on numbers of people, such as crew, passengers, or industrial personnel? • Which of these documents is mainly about emergency duties and stations, not headcount limits? • Which document is more about general procedures and safe operation rather than specific, regulated maximum numbers of persons on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which document is an official statutory certificate issued by the Coast Guard or flag state that sets carriage limits • Confirm which document normally lists maximum persons allowed for different categories (crew, passengers, industrial personnel) • Eliminate any document that is primarily about emergency roles or procedures rather than numeric limits of persons on board
