70% to pass

Your vessel has lifeboats on both sides. Where is Lifeboat No. 2 located?

A forward of lifeboat No. 4 on the starboard side
B aft of lifeboat No. 1 on the starboard side
C forward of lifeboat No. 4 on the port side
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) forward of lifeboat No. 4 on the port side. This is because standard lifeboat arrangement on vessels typically places the lifeboats in a symmetrical configuration, with an even number of lifeboats (such as 4) positioned port and starboard. In this case, with lifeboats on both sides, Lifeboat No. 2 would be located forward of Lifeboat No. 4 on the port side, to maintain this symmetrical arrangement. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the standard lifeboat configuration described above. Lifeboats are not typically arranged aft of Lifeboat No. 1 on the starboard side (option B) or forward of Lifeboat No. 4 on the starboard side (option A).
