A pre-departure safety checklist for US vessel masters and operators, aligned with US Coast Guard requirements under 46 CFR. Covers navigation equipment, FCC-compliant communication systems, USCG-required life-saving appliances, fire safety equipment, engine room checks, and mandatory passenger safety briefing.
