🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T requirements for watertight bulkheads on small passenger vessels < 100 GT • The difference between watertight integrity and a complete prohibition on openings or penetrations • Typical treatment of sluice valves and other fittings in watertight boundaries

💭 Think About

• Look at which options sound like absolute prohibitions and ask: does the Coast Guard usually allow openings if they are made watertight, or does it ban them entirely? • Consider whether regulations require a very specific construction detail for every bulkhead (like being stepped at the midpoint), or if they focus more on maintaining watertightness and structural strength. • Think about what a sluice valve does (it allows flow between compartments). Would that generally be considered compatible with maintaining a watertight subdivision on a passenger vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR 179 (Subdivision and Stability) or the appropriate small passenger vessel subpart what is actually said about penetrations in watertight bulkheads (pipes, cables, ducts). • Check if the regulations mention any general requirement that a watertight bulkhead must be stepped at its midpoint, or if that sounds unusual compared to standard naval architecture practice. • Confirm whether the rules treat sluice valves in watertight bulkheads more strictly than other types of penetrations or fittings.
