š Key Concepts
ā¢ 46 CFR Subchapter T small passenger vessel construction and arrangement requirements
ā¢ Specific dimensional and safety requirements for berths/bunks in overnight accommodation spaces
ā¢ How exam questions often use "All of the above" and what that requires about each individual statement
š Think About
ā¢ For each option A, B, and C, ask yourself: does this sound like an actual regulatory requirement (specific, measurable) or more like a general good idea?
ā¢ Check whether bunk rules focus only on height, or also on length/width and clear space above, and on access/escape routes.
ā¢ If "All of the above" were correct, would every single detail in A, B, and C have to match the wording and intent of the regulations?

Before You Answer
ā¢ Verify in 46 CFR that bunk requirements include specific dimensions (length, width, clear space) rather than vague descriptions.
ā¢ Confirm whether regulations require bunks to be immediately adjacent to an aisle, or simply arranged so that each person has a safe means of escape.
ā¢ Check if there is a specific rule about bunks more than 5 feet above the deck needing an access aid, and whether the regulation limits how many bunks may be stacked high.
