🔍 Key Concepts

• How a SOLAS liferaft is designed to auto-inflate when launched • The purpose and function of the painter line on an inflatable liferaft • The roles of the hydrostatic release unit versus manual actions by the crew

💭 Think About

• After the raft and container are in the water, what action by the crew actually triggers the CO2 inflation? • Which device is intended only to release the raft from the ship when it sinks, and not to inflate it? • Which option is used to top off pressure after inflation rather than to start inflation from completely packed state?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component is directly connected to the CO2 inflation cylinder. • Distinguish between a release mechanism (freeing the raft) and an inflation mechanism (filling it with gas). • Consider which listed actions happen after the raft is already in the water and are part of the standard launch procedure in training manuals.
