🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR lifesaving equipment requirements for cargo vessels in specified services • Table for minimum number of ring life buoys by vessel length (in feet or meters) • Difference between requirements for oceangoing cargo vessels and those in coastwise/specified service alternatives

💭 Think About

• First, identify which CFR part and table covers ring life buoy requirements for cargo vessels in specified service around 275 feet in length. • Then, find the length range bracket that includes 275 feet and note the minimum number of ring life buoys for that range. • Compare the requirement for full oceangoing cargo vessels vs. the alternative for specified service and be sure you are using the correct column of the table.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are in 46 CFR Subchapter W – Lifesaving Appliances and Arrangements, in the cargo vessel section. • Confirm the length range that includes 275 feet (do not use Gross Tonnage here). • Make sure you are reading from the alternative requirements for specified service cargo vessels column, not passenger or unrestricted oceangoing columns.
