🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydrostatic release unit (HRU) function on liferafts • Normal/manual release versus automatic release when submerged • How liferafts are secured in cradles in everyday service

💭 Think About

• Think about what the crew would practically do in an emergency when they want to launch the raft quickly and deliberately, with no tools. • Which option describes using the designed release mechanism, and which sound more like last-resort or makeshift methods? • How does the hydrostatic release work by itself when the vessel sinks, and what would you touch (or not touch) in a normal launch?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes using the hydrostatic release the way it is intended to work versus trying to defeat or dismantle the mounting. • Ask: in a real emergency, would the crew have time to unscrew or cut things, or is there a simple, quick manual action built into the system? • Confirm which actions could accidentally disable the automatic release function that is supposed to work if the ship sinks.
