🔍 Key Concepts

• Survival craft handling in heavy seas and the risk of collision or capsizing near a larger ship • How relative motion between a small craft and a large vessel changes as they get close together in rough weather • General rescue priorities: preserving life vs speed of transfer

💭 Think About

• What dangers are created when a small survival craft gets very close to a large vessel in heavy seas? Think about impact, suction, and being caught under the ship’s side. • In rough conditions, is it safer to move people quickly no matter what, or to control the transfer process carefully? Why? • How should the person in charge balance the urgency to get aboard the rescue vessel with the need to keep the survival craft clear of the ship’s side?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option best reduces the chance of the survival craft being smashed against the ship’s side in heavy seas? • Which choice reflects controlled, safe transfer rather than rushing or delaying without good reason? • Eliminate any option that would fix the survival craft alongside the rescue vessel in heavy seas, and any option that ignores the urgency of rescue.
