Question 1162Deck Safety70% to pass
A lifeline must be connected to the life raft _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all around.
According to the regulations for lifesaving equipment on commercial vessels, the lifeline must be secured around the entire perimeter of the life raft. This ensures that the raft remains tethered to the vessel in the event of an emergency and allows people in the water to hold onto the lifeline and pull themselves towards the raft.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully secure the lifeline around the entire life raft. Connecting it only at the stern, middle, or bow would leave portions of the raft untethered, which would not meet the safety requirements.
