78. Which of these approved lifesaving devices must a small passenger vessel carrying passengers for hire carry for each person on board? (small passenger vessel regulations)

Small passenger vessels carrying passengers for hire must carry an approved life jacket for each person on board, as mandated by 46 CFR Subchapter T. This requirement supersedes older terms like 'buoyant vest' and 'buoyant cushion,' and supplements devices like ring buoys, which are required in addition to the one-per-person life jacket.
