Who is required be familiar with and post the Emergency Instructions in a conspicuous place accessible to crew and passengers? (small passenger vessel regulations)
• 46 CFR Subchapter T – Small Passenger Vessels • Who is responsible for carrying out emergency procedures on board • Difference between shoreside authorities and on‑board personnel
• Ask yourself: who is physically on the vessel and actually in charge of the crew and passengers during an emergency? • Which role is directly responsible for ensuring that emergency drills, safety briefings, and posted instructions are followed on board? • Do manufacturers or regulators usually post instructions on a specific boat, or does someone on the vessel have that ongoing duty?
• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter T who has overall responsibility for the safety of passengers and crew on board. • Check which listed party has legal authority to direct emergency actions on that particular vessel. • Confirm which role is explicitly assigned the duty to post required safety and emergency information where crew and passengers can see it.
