Q

Which davit type may be operated by one person?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat davit designs and how they are operated • The difference between manually rotated davits and those that move on tracks or arms • Which davit is intended for rapid launching with minimal crew

💭 Think About

• Think about which davit type is commonly used on modern ships for quick evacuation with a small crew size. • Ask yourself: which design can be released and lowered mainly by controlling a brake, rather than by heavy pushing or cranking? • Consider which types typically require more than one person to swing the boat outboard safely and evenly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which davit type is designed to move the boat outboard largely by its own weight. • Recall which davit is specifically described in training materials as operable by one person from the deck. • Eliminate any davit types known to require significant manual rotation or cranking by multiple crew members.
