Where are the U.S. regulations governing the sleeping accommodations of a cargo vessel found?
• 46 CFR Subchapters are organized by vessel type and subject (e.g., inspected small passenger vessels, load lines, etc.) • Sleeping accommodations on cargo vessels are part of construction and equipment requirements, not operating rules • Think about which subchapter applies specifically to cargo and miscellaneous vessels rather than passenger or general provisions
• Which subchapter letter in 46 CFR is tied to cargo and miscellaneous vessels, as opposed to passenger vessels or general provisions? • Which of these choices is most likely to contain detailed rules on vessel design, including crew quarters and living spaces? • Eliminate any subchapters you recognize as clearly related to small passenger vessels, stability/load lines only, or purely administrative requirements.
• Identify which choice covers cargo and miscellaneous vessels in 46 CFR • Verify that the subchapter you pick includes construction and arrangement of spaces on board • Make sure your choice is not primarily about passenger vessels or general administration rather than vessel design
