🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat equipment stowage requirements under SOLAS and 46 CFR • The purpose of a hatchet during lifeboat launching and after launching (e.g., cutting falls, clearing lines) • Why critical emergency tools must be immediately available even if the boat is damaged or partly flooded

💭 Think About

• Think about when you would need to use a lifeboat hatchet and whether there would be time to go fetch it from somewhere else on the ship • Consider how many places along the lifeboat you might need to quickly cut lines or obstructions—would one location be enough? • Ask yourself which option ensures the hatchets are always with the boat, but not loose so they become dangerous in rough seas

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choices keep the hatchet physically in the lifeboat at all times • Check which option prevents the hatchet from becoming a flying hazard in heavy weather by requiring it to be secured • Eliminate any answer that requires going elsewhere on the ship to get the hatchet in an emergency
