Your vessel is certificated to carry 50 persons. Which are you required to have onboard? (small passenger vessel regulations)

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T small passenger vessel lifesaving rules • Total number of approved life jackets required vs. distribution between adult and child sizes • Minimum percentage of child-size life jackets required when the vessel carries passengers

💭 Think About

• Start by deciding how many total life jackets are required for a vessel certificated to carry 50 persons under small passenger vessel rules. • Then think about whether the regulations require some number of child-size life jackets, and if so, is it a fixed number or a percentage of persons carried? • Compare each answer choice to see which one matches both the total number of jackets and the minimum required number of child-size jackets.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 180 (Lifesaving) how many life jackets are required for the total number of persons the vessel is certificated to carry. • Check the specific requirement for child-size life jackets (often expressed as a percentage of total persons or expected children). • Make sure the option you pick has at least the required total number of life jackets AND at least the required minimum child-size life jackets.
