A crew member joins a vessel that is a sister ship to the vessel on which the crew member previously completed firefighting training. Under 46 CFR §185.420, how is this prior training treated?

  1. A. It is not recognized; all training must be repeated aboard the new vessel
  2. B. It satisfies only the initial training requirement but not subsequent quarterly training
  3. It may be considered equivalent to the initial, monthly, and quarterly training requirementsCorrect
  4. D. It satisfies the quarterly requirement only if documented by the previous vessel's master

Why C is correct

46 CFR §185.420(c) states that training conducted on a sister vessel may be considered equivalent to the initial, monthly, and quarterly training requirements. The regulation does not limit this equivalency to only one category of the required training.
