🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS lifeboat performance requirements for motor-propelled survival craft • Difference between smooth water and rough water performance standards • How speed requirements change when towing vs not towing another survival craft

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether the speed standard in SOLAS is written for smooth water, rough water, or does not specify sea state. Which is more realistic for a test performance requirement? • Next, recall whether the minimum speed requirement increases or decreases when a lifeboat is fully loaded but NOT towing anything. Is the emphasis on speed or on towing power? • Think about which is easier for a lifeboat to achieve: 6 knots or 3 knots when fully loaded. Which value is actually written into international regulations for motor lifeboats?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in SOLAS Chapter III, survival craft performance standards, the stated minimum speed for a fully loaded motor-propelled lifeboat not towing other craft • Confirm whether the regulation links the speed requirement specifically to calm/smooth water conditions • Make sure you are not confusing the requirement for lifeboats with that for liferafts or rescue boats, which may have different speed or towing standards
