Question 1503 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Inflatable liferafts are required to be equipped with a towing connection, a lifeline, and a knife. These features are essential for the safety and functionality of the liferaft in the event of an emergency at sea. The towing connection allows the liferaft to be towed by a rescue vessel, the lifeline provides a secure handhold for occupants, and the knife can be used to cut away any obstructions or entanglements. These three elements are all mandated by the relevant regulations for inflatable liferafts to ensure they can effectively support and protect the individuals aboard in a distress situation.
