🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter H requirements for passenger vessels • Table or section in 46 CFR that specifies the number of life buoys by vessel length and service (ocean/coastwise vs. river)** • Difference in safety equipment requirements for river service vs. seagoing service

💭 Think About

• First, identify which part of 46 CFR applies to a 130-foot passenger vessel and whether being
• Think about how life buoy requirements typically scale: do they increase stepwise with length ranges (e.g., up to 100 ft, 100–200 ft, etc.)? Which range does 130 ft fall into? • Consider whether river service usually has the same, higher, or reduced requirements compared to ocean/coastwise service for items like life buoys.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the exact length bracket (in feet or meters) that includes 130 ft (40 m) in the life buoy requirements table. • Verify whether there is a different column or note for river service in that table and apply it to this vessel. • Double-check that the requirement you’re using is specifically for passenger vessels, not cargo or other vessel types.
