Question 1261Deck Safety70% to pass
Your vessel has 3 lifeboats on each side. The aftermost boat on the port side is designated as boat number _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 6.
On a vessel with 3 lifeboats on each side, the aftermost boat on the port side would be designated as boat number 6. This is because the lifeboats are typically numbered in order from forward to aft, with the port side boats receiving odd numbers (1, 3, 5) and the starboard side boats receiving even numbers (2, 4, 6).
The other options are incorrect because:
B) 3 PORT is not a standard lifeboat designation format.
C) 3 would be the middle port side lifeboat, not the aftermost one.
D) 5 would be the second-to-last port side lifeboat, not the aftermost one.
