🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS Chapter III requirements for survival craft and rescue boats • Endurance requirements for motor-propelled lifeboats (speed and duration) • Difference between minimum speed (in knots) and required operating time

💭 Think About

• Look up the SOLAS regulation that specifies the performance standards for lifeboats and note both the minimum speed and the minimum duration at that speed. • Think about why lifeboats need to operate for an extended period: consider rescue time, search patterns, and distance from shipping lanes. • Compare which of the answer choices matches a realistic safety margin for being self‑propelled and visible to rescuers.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in SOLAS Chapter III the exact required operating time at 6 knots for motor-propelled lifeboats. • Confirm that the requirement is for continuous operation at that speed, not just total fuel carried. • Make sure you are not confusing lifeboat fuel-endurance requirements with those for rescue boats or other survival craft.
