Question 1544 Deck Safety

You are correct, the answer A is the true statement concerning lifeboat installations on Great Lakes vessels. The regulation states that all lifelines on lifeboats shall be able to reach the water at the vessel's lightest draft with a 20° list. This ensures that the lifeboats can be safely lowered and accessed by crew and passengers in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect - Great Lakes vessels do not have a specific requirement for gravity davits, and there is no regulation mandating 3 lifelines per davit span. Option D is incorrect as it includes these incorrect statements.
