Q

The normal equipment of every rescue boat shall include __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS rescue boat equipment requirements in Chapter III, particularly for survival craft and rescue boats • The difference between mandatory equipment vs. optional or situational equipment • How exam questions often use "all of the above" when multiple listed items are actually required

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these items would be essential for a rescue boat to safely maneuver, reach survivors, and treat injuries? • Consider whether SOLAS requires only one of these items, a combination of them, or a broader list that happens to include all three. • Think about the purpose of a rescue boat: What basic functions must it be able to perform, and what minimum gear would support those functions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in SOLAS Chapter III that rescue boats must carry means of propulsion, which may include oars in addition to motors. • Check whether the regulation lists a tow or lifeline of a specified length for rescue boats. • Confirm that a first aid kit is part of the standard equipment for survival craft and rescue boats, not just ships in general.
