🔍 Key Concepts

• Life-saving appliances (LSA) requirements for lifejacket stowage • The meaning of readily accessible in emergency situations • Why locked or hard-to-reach spaces can delay abandonment or muster

💭 Think About

• If an emergency happens at night and power is lost, how quickly and easily must every person be able to reach a lifejacket? • Which locations in the choices would be normally used or passed through by all crew and passengers during daily routines? • Think about which spaces might become dangerous, flooded, or inaccessible early in an emergency.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option allows lifejackets to be reached without needing a key, tools, or special permission. • Check which areas are not normally occupied or might be hazardous (e.g., pumproom, forepeak). • Confirm that regulations aim for lifejackets to be immediately usable in an emergency, not just safely stored.
