Q

Vessels in ocean service shall carry which item? (small passenger vessel regulations)

🔍 Key Concepts

• Small passenger vessel manning and equipment rules in 46 CFR Subchapter T (vessels <100 GT carrying more than 6 passengers) • Differences between lifejackets (PFDs) and collective lifesaving appliances like life floats, buoyant apparatus, and inflatable buoyant apparatus • Special requirements for ocean service versus coastwise/lakes/bays and sounds routes

💭 Think About

• Which options provide individual buoyancy vs group/collective buoyancy, and what does an ocean route typically require for a casualty where everyone may have to abandon ship? • Look at the answer choices: which ones give protection for all persons on board versus only a portion, and how does that line up with the intent of ocean‑service regulations? • Among the devices listed, which are the more modern / higher standard devices that tend to be required for the most demanding route (oceans) under small passenger vessel rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter T that ocean service routes have the most stringent lifesaving requirements. • Check which types of buoyant apparatus are required for all persons on board for an ocean route. • Confirm that lifejackets are always needed individually AND there is often a separate requirement for a collective survival craft; don’t mix up these two categories when picking your answer.
