Question 399Deck General70% to pass
Your vessel has 3 lifeboats on each side. The middle boat on the starboard side is designated as boat number _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3.
According to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, lifeboats on a vessel are typically numbered from the bow to the stern, starting on the port side and moving to the starboard side. Since the question states that there are 3 lifeboats on each side, with the middle boat on the starboard side being the one in question, the correct designation for that lifeboat is number 3.
The other answer choices are incorrect because option A) 2 would be the correct designation for the second lifeboat on the port side, option B) 2 STARBOARD would be ambiguous and not the standard naming convention, and option D) 4 would be the correct designation for the fourth lifeboat, which is not the one described in the question.
