Question 1 of 27070

Your vessel is 79 feet long with 20 people aboard. Which is the height requirement of the coaming of a deck above the lowest weather deck (except an exposed forecastle deck)?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Coaming height requirements for small passenger vessels under 100 gross tons in 46 CFR Subchapter T • Difference between the lowest weather deck and decks above it • How passenger capacity and vessel length affect structural fire protection and watertight integrity requirements

💭 Think About

• Identify which CFR Subchapter applies to a 79-foot vessel with 20 people aboard and confirm whether it is treated as a small passenger vessel • Determine what the regulations say about coamings on the lowest weather deck versus coamings on decks above that level • Ask whether a deck above the lowest weather deck must have the same coaming height, a different minimum height, or may have no coaming requirement at all

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter T what is required for coamings on weathertight doors or hatches on the lowest weather deck • Check if the regulation makes a distinction for decks above the lowest weather deck and note if those coamings are specified or explicitly not required • Confirm whether passenger count (20 persons) or vessel length (79 feet) changes the basic coaming-height requirement for that particular deck location
