🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifesaving equipment documentation carried on inspected vessels • Purpose of a Certificate of Inspection (COI) versus a Muster List/Station Bill • What information is generally contained in Ship's Articles

💭 Think About

• Which document is an official U.S. Coast Guard certificate that lists required equipment and operating limits for the vessel? • Which option is more about crew assignments and emergency duties rather than an inventory list? • Which choice refers to general regulations, and which refers to a specific document carried on your vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a vessel-specific document required to be carried on board • Separate documents that show regulatory requirements in general from those that list your boat’s actual equipment • Confirm what the Muster List/Station Bill mainly describes: duties/assignments vs. detailed equipment inventory
