🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for periodic testing of emergency steering, whistle, and bridge-to-engine room communications • Differences between testing schedules for emergency lighting/power versus other equipment • Specific weekly test requirements for motor-propelled lifeboats on cargo vessels

💭 Think About

• Do all three listed requirements actually match the detailed intervals and conditions found in 46 CFR, or is one slightly overstated or misstated? • Does the regulation really say “on all vessels, regardless of voyage duration” and “regardless of source/length/capacity,” or are those key limiting phrases a clue? • Is any option requiring more frequent or more extensive testing than the regulations actually require, making that statement inaccurate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each statement’s frequency of test (within 12 hours, weekly, 2 hours, 3 minutes) to what 46 CFR specifies. • Check whether the regulations add limitations like tonnage, route, or equipment type that are missing from any choice. • Verify if any one choice contains an absolute phrase (like “all vessels” or “regardless of source”) that conflicts with how the actual regulation is written.
