Question 173Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passYou have abandoned ship and are in charge of a life raft. How much water per day should you permit each occupant to drink after the first 24 hours?
A1 can
B1 pint
C1 quart
D1 gallon
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1 pint. After the first 24 hours in a life raft, the recommended water ration is 1 pint (16 fluid ounces) per person per day. This amount is based on regulations and guidelines from the US Coast Guard and other maritime safety organizations, which aim to provide the minimum necessary water intake to sustain life while conserving the limited water supply in a survival situation. The other options are incorrect because 1 can (8-12 ounces) would be insufficient, 1 quart (32 ounces) would be too much, and 1 gallon (128 ounces) would be unsustainable given the limited water resources typically available in a life raft.
