🔍 Key Concepts

• Subchapter K vs. Subchapter T inspected passenger vessels in 46 CFR • When rescue boats (or rescue craft) are required by regulation • How vessel length and passenger count/route can change lifesaving equipment requirements

💭 Think About

• First, identify what types of vessels are regulated under Subchapter T and Subchapter K and how they differ in size and service. • Think about which group of vessels the Coast Guard is more likely to require a dedicated rescue boat on, and why that would be the case from a safety standpoint. • Consider whether the requirement would reasonably apply to all vessels in a category, or only those above a certain size or carrying capacity.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which subchapter applies to small passenger vessels under 100 gross tons and how they’re defined. • Check in 46 CFR lifesaving requirements to see whether all T‑boats need a rescue boat, or only those over a certain length threshold. • Confirm whether Subchapter K has a different rescue craft requirement than Subchapter T, or if the question is steering you toward one specific group.
