🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifesaving equipment documentation required by the Coast Guard • Purpose of a Muster List / Station Bill on board • What information is shown on a Certificate of Inspection (COI) for inspected vessels

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which document mainly tells EACH CREWMEMBER what to do and where to go in an emergency, rather than listing all equipment? • Consider which document is issued by the Coast Guard and posted on inspected vessels, and what sections it usually includes. • Think about where you would look if you needed a detailed list of all lifesaving appliances and arrangements that the vessel is required to carry.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is an official USCG document that summarizes required equipment and vessel particulars. • Separate documents that describe duties and stations from those that describe types and quantities of lifesaving equipment. • Verify which document, by its nature, would most likely include lifeboats, life rafts, lifejackets, and other lifesaving appliances in an organized list.
