Question 534Deck Safety70% to pass
You are proceeding to a distress site and expect large numbers of people in the water. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. An inflatable liferaft secured alongside can be an effective boarding station for transfer of survivors from the boats.
This is correct because securing an inflatable liferaft alongside the rescue vessel provides a stable platform for transferring survivors from the water into the vessel. This allows for a safe and efficient recovery operation, as the liferaft acts as a buffer between the survivors and the vessel's hull, reducing the risk of injury. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not provide the best practice for safely recovering large numbers of survivors in the water.
