🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS lifeboat equipment requirements for oceangoing vessels • Minimum water rations per person specified for lifeboats on international voyages • Difference between minimum required provisions and what might be recommended or carried in practice

💭 Think About

• Is the question asking about what is commonly carried or the minimum required by regulation? • Does the regulation specify water per person per day, or a total minimum per person to be placed in the boat at the start? • Among the choices, which amount sounds like a realistic emergency minimum that could be stored for all persons on board without overloading the boat?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully note the key words: "required amount", "for each person", and "on an international voyage" • Think about typical survival guidance: how much water is considered a bare emergency minimum, not a comfortable amount? • Eliminate any answers that seem more like a daily consumption target rather than a compact, storable emergency ration for many people in one lifeboat.
