70% to passYour vessel has 3 lifeboats on each side. The middle boat on the starboard side is designated as boat number _______________.
A
2 STARBOARD
B
4
C
3
D
2
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3. According to maritime regulations, lifeboats on a vessel are typically numbered from forward to aft, with the middle boat on the starboard side designated as boat number 3. This is the standard convention for numbering lifeboats on merchant vessels and is required by the U.S. Coast Guard for Captain's License examinations. The other options are incorrect because boat number 2 would be the forward boat on the starboard side (option A), and options B and D do not follow the standard lifeboat numbering convention.
