🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 15 – Manning Requirements for inspected vessels, especially towing vessels on coastwise voyages • The definition of deck crew and how many must be rated as Able Seamen (AB) versus ordinary seamen • The typical minimum percentage of deckhands that must be ABs on seagoing or coastwise vessels

💭 Think About

• Is a voyage between New York and Tampa, FL considered inland, near-coastal, or coastwise/oceans for manning purposes, and why does that matter for AB requirements? • When the regulation talks about the percentage of the deck crew that must be ABs, does that percentage apply to all crew, or only to deckhands assigned to deck duties? • If the rule says a certain fraction or percentage of deckhands must be ABs, what whole number of ABs would that require when there are four deckhands?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in 46 CFR Part 15 what percentage of the deck crew on a towing vessel on a coastwise or ocean route must be ABs • Make sure you are counting only deckhands (not the Master or engineer) when applying the AB percentage • After applying the required percentage to 4 deckhands, round up to the next whole number of ABs if the math gives you a fraction
