Question 151Safety & Environmental - QMED
70% to passWhen launching an inflatable life raft, you should make sure that the operating cord is _______________.
Afastened to some substantial part of the vessel
Bnot fastened to anything
Csecured to the hydrostatic release
Dfastened to the raft container
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) fastened to some substantial part of the vessel. When launching an inflatable life raft, the operating cord should be fastened to a substantial part of the vessel, such as a strong point or the deck. This ensures that the raft can be launched effectively and does not drift away from the vessel. Leaving the cord unattached (option B) or attaching it to the raft container (option D) would not properly secure the raft during launch. Option C, securing the cord to the hydrostatic release, is also incorrect, as the hydrostatic release is a separate mechanism responsible for automatically releasing the raft in the event of sinking.
