78. Which document lists all the lifesaving equipment required for a vessel?

The Certificate of Inspection, issued by the Coast Guard, details the required lifesaving equipment for a vessel. This document is specific to the vessel's route, service, and passenger/crew limits, ensuring it reflects the actual equipment needed based on U.S. regulations. Unlike classification certificates, registry documents, or international conventions, the Certificate of Inspection serves as the official U.S. regulatory equipment list for inspected vessels.
