🔍 Key Concepts

• Load line exemptions on the Great Lakes in 46 CFR (look at 46 CFR Part 45 and related sections on applicability and exemptions) • Differences between Great Lakes routes vs. rivers/harbors for load line applicability • Special treatment of pleasure craft and small GT vessels under load line regulations

💭 Think About

• Which of these vessels is engaged in commercial service where cargo or passengers are carried for hire, and which might be considered non‑commercial? • How does gross tonnage (GT), type of service (cargo, tank, passenger, pleasure), and route (harbor-to-harbor vs open lake vs river) affect whether a load line is required? • Are there specific exemptions in the load line rules for vessels of certain sizes or types (e.g., pleasure craft or vessels below a certain GT) on the Great Lakes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check in 46 CFR whether pleasure craft are treated differently from commercial vessels for load line requirements. • Verify how Great Lakes load line rules apply to barges vs. passenger vessels vs. pleasure craft, especially with regard to tonnage thresholds. • Confirm whether short inland or harbor routes on the Great Lakes System change the applicability of load line and marking requirements.
