Question 1207Deck Safety70% to pass
An inflatable liferaft can be launched by _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) throwing the entire container overboard, then pulling on the operating cord to inflate the raft.
This is the correct method for launching an inflatable liferaft. The raft is stored in a sealed container that is securely attached to the vessel. When the vessel sinks or capsizes, the container will float free and the operating cord must be pulled to inflate the raft. This allows the raft to automatically deploy without any other action required, which is critical in an emergency situation. The other answer choices are incorrect, as they do not properly describe the standard deployment method for an inflatable liferaft.
