🔍 Key Concepts

• Survivor safety and stability during transfer operations • Risks of leaving the protection of an enclosed lifeboat near a moving vessel • Standard practice for orderly evacuation from survival craft

💭 Think About

• How does each option affect the stability of the enclosed lifeboat in the water? • Which actions increase exposure to falling, being crushed, or going under the hull between the two craft? • In rough seas or darkness, which method keeps most people protected for as long as possible?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice keeps survivors inside the most stable, protected space until it is their turn to transfer • Check which options avoid unnecessary time in the water near a maneuvering vessel • Confirm that transfers are done in a controlled, one‑by‑one manner rather than exposing many people at once
