Question 1 of 27070

When lowering a boat with gravity davits, it will be initially pulled into the embarkation deck by which item?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand the sequence of actions when launching a lifeboat with gravity davits • Know the specific purpose of tricing pendants, frapping lines, and boat hooks • Visualize the position of the boat relative to the embarkation deck at each step of launching

💭 Think About

• Which item is designed specifically to bring the boat horizontally inboard toward the embarkation deck as it first comes down? • At what point in the launching sequence are tricing pendants used, and when are frapping lines used? Early or late in the process? • Are boat hooks used for securing the boat alongside, or for physically pulling it in at the initial lowering?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which lines are temporary and automatically released once the boat reaches the embarkation deck • Check which equipment is used to steady and hold the boat close after people are boarding, versus which equipment pulls it in initially • Confirm the definition and function of tricing pendants in survival craft launching procedures (SOLAS/LSA Code)
