Question 1357Deck Safety70% to pass
When launching a lifeboat, frapping lines should be rigged _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) at the embarkation deck.
The reason this is the correct answer is that frapping lines are used to secure the lifeboat to the davits before it is launched. These lines need to be rigged at the embarkation deck, before the boat is moved from the davits, to ensure the lifeboat remains properly secured until it is ready to be lowered into the water.
The other options are incorrect because: A) rigging the frapping lines before the boat is moved would be too early, C) rigging them after the boat is in the water would be too late, and D) the frapping lines should be rigged before the gripes (securing straps) are released, not after.
