Question 440Deck Safety70% to pass
You have abandoned ship and are in charge of a liferaft or survival craft. How much water per day should you permit each person to have after the first 24 hours?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1 pint.
After the first 24 hours in a liferaft or survival craft, the recommended water ration is 1 pint (half a quart) per person per day. This is the standard guidance from the US Coast Guard and other maritime authorities for survival situations where water is limited. Allocating 1 pint per day helps ensure the available water supply lasts as long as possible until rescue or reaching land. The other options, such as 1 gallon or 1 can, would be too much and deplete the water supply too quickly in a survival scenario.
