Question 1167Deck Safety70% to pass
A life line must be connected to the liferaft _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all around.
The regulations for life rafts on U.S. Coast Guard-inspected vessels require that a lifeline be securely attached around the entire circumference of the life raft. This provides a secure handhold for passengers to hold onto as they board and exit the life raft, and also helps keep the raft stable and in position in the water. The lifeline must be attached at multiple points around the raft, not just at the bow, stern, or middle, in order to meet the safety requirements.
The other answer choices would not be compliant with the regulations, as they do not provide the necessary 360-degree lifeline coverage around the raft.
