The number 2 lifeboat on a tanker would be _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) forwardmost on the port side.
On a tanker, the number 2 lifeboat is typically located on the port (left) side of the vessel, forward of the number 1 lifeboat. This arrangement is in accordance with international maritime regulations, which require lifeboats to be distributed across both sides of the ship to ensure adequate evacuation capacity in an emergency.
The other options are incorrect because: A) the number 2 lifeboat would not be abaft (behind) the number 1 lifeboat on the port side, C) it would not be abaft the number 1 lifeboat on the starboard (right) side, and D) it would not be forwardmost on the starboard side.
