🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat numbering convention on merchant vessels • Relationship between port/starboard sides and odd/even boat numbers • How lifeboats are counted from bow to stern on each side

💭 Think About

• First, decide which side of the vessel (port or starboard) usually carries the odd-numbered lifeboats. • Think about where No. 1 lifeboat would be located, then figure out how the numbers increase as you move along that same side. • Determine whether the numbering goes forward to aft, aft to forward, or alternates between sides.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which side is port (left looking forward) and which is starboard (right looking forward). • Confirm from your study materials whether odd numbers are assigned to a specific side and even numbers to the other. • Verify the usual direction of numbering on each side: does it start at the forward-most boat or the after-most boat?
