An inflatable liferaft equipped with a SOLAS B pack must be stowed _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) so as to float free.
Inflatable liferafts equipped with a SOLAS B pack must be stowed in a way that allows them to float free in the event of an emergency. This is a key requirement specified in SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations for the stowage of liferafts. The liferaft must be positioned such that it can automatically release and inflate when the ship sinks, ensuring the safety of the crew. The other options, such as stowing it forward, with the vessel's emergency equipment, or near the wheelhouse, do not meet this critical SOLAS requirement for the liferaft to float free.
