🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS lifesaving appliance definitions for different types of flotation devices • The difference between devices meant to be boarded (you get into/on them) versus those meant to be held onto • Which devices are commonly approved as group flotation rather than individual PFDs (personal flotation devices)

💭 Think About

• Which option names something survivors would normally climb into or onto, rather than just hold on to? • Of the options, which is specifically designed so that multiple people in the water can gather around it and hang on, without actually being out of the water? • Think about which terms are used in regulations for ships’ lifesaving equipment versus more casual or small‑boat equipment.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which device type is defined in regulations as providing collective support in the water for several persons holding onto it. • Check which items are considered liferafts (boardable, often enclosed or inflatable) and eliminate anything that doesn’t match the "hold on to while in the water" wording. • Confirm which of the listed items appears in SOLAS/46 CFR lifesaving equipment categories as a group support flotation device, not a standard wearable lifejacket or cushion.
