Question 1541 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) Two. According to the regulations for Great Lakes cargo vessels, if the liferaft is stowed more than 100 meters from the bow or stern, the vessel must have at least two liferafts. This requirement is in place to ensure that there are sufficient means of abandoning the vessel in an emergency, even if the primary liferaft is not accessible due to its distance from the ends of the ship. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) One liferaft would not be sufficient if the primary one is inaccessible, C) Three liferafts are not required by the regulation, and D) Four liferafts are more than the minimum required.
