The number of rowing oars that must be carried in a motor-propelled open lifeboat on a cargo vessel is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS lifeboat equipment requirements for motor-propelled open lifeboats • Difference between what is regulated by law vs. what is chosen by the manufacturer or Master • The idea that oars are part of the standard lifeboat equipment list, similar to water, rations, and other survival gear

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: For lifesaving appliances on cargo vessels, who usually sets the minimum required equipment and quantities – an individual person/company or an international/national regulation? • Consider whether oars would be treated like optional extra gear or like mandatory standardized equipment that must be the same on all similar lifeboats. • Think about exam patterns: when it comes to safety-critical items (like lifeboat capacity, equipment, rations), are these usually left to the Master’s judgment or tightly controlled by regulations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check who actually publishes lifesaving appliance regulations (think SOLAS and U.S. Coast Guard in 46 CFR). • Verify whether there is a standard table or schedule that lists required lifeboat equipment, including the number of oars. • Make sure you distinguish between regulatory minimums and any additional equipment that a manufacturer or Master may choose to add.
