Question 1201 Deck Safety
70% to passWhen launching an inflatable liferaft, you should make sure that the operating cord is _______________.
A
not fastened to anything
B
fastened to some substantial part of the vessel
C
fastened to the raft container
D
secured to the hydrostatic release
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) fastened to some substantial part of the vessel. When launching an inflatable liferaft, the operating cord should be fastened to a substantial part of the vessel. This ensures that the raft can be easily deployed and doesn't drift away from the vessel during an emergency. If the cord is not fastened (option A), the raft could float away, making it inaccessible. Fastening it to the raft container (option C) or the hydrostatic release (option D) would not provide the necessary connection to the vessel.
