Q. Before lifting a lifeboat from water, it must be ensured that




The correct answer is B (The fall wires are clear and securely hooked). Ensuring the fall wires are free of obstructions and properly secured is critical to lifting the lifeboat safely.

This step prevents accidental release or damage to the lifeboat during recovery. The falls, which are the wires or ropes used to lower and raise the lifeboat, must be correctly secured to the lifting hooks to ensure stability. Failure to do so can result in equipment failure or accidents, compromising the safety of crew members and the lifeboat's integrity.

  • Regular inspection of falls and lifting hooks is essential for safety.
  • The bottom plug should be checked but is unrelated to lifting.
  • The engine running astern is only relevant during maneuvering, not lifting.
  • The sea anchor is for stabilizing in water, not during lifting.
  • Proper training is crucial to handle lifeboats safely and efficiently.
