🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe recovery of survival craft procedures from SOLAS and company SMS (Safety Management System) • Risk of propeller wash/suction and hull interaction near a survival craft alongside • Relative position of the survival craft to the embarkation deck/platform during recovery

💭 Think About

• At what stage is the survival craft and its occupants most vulnerable to being drawn toward the propeller or slammed against the ship’s side? • Which option best reduces the risk of injury to people in or near the craft while still allowing you to control the ship’s position? • Think about when you need fine maneuvering control from the engine versus when you should rely only on lines and the recovery system.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify at which point the survival craft is alongside and close to the embarkation area with people exposed near the hull • Consider when propeller effects (wash/suction) are most dangerous to a small boat right next to the ship • Check which choice reflects standard SOLAS / drill practice for lifeboat recovery, not just what “sounds” careful.
