Question 1462 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) 6 knots in smooth water. According to the regulations governing lifeboats, a fully loaded motor-propelled lifeboat must be capable of attaining a speed of at least 6 knots in smooth water. This requirement ensures that the lifeboat can effectively transport passengers and crew to safety in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because: A) 3 knots in rough water is below the minimum speed requirement, C) 6 knots in rough water is not the correct specification, and D) 3 knots in smooth water is also below the minimum speed requirement.
