🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter J – Electrical Engineering requirements for survival craft • Safety considerations when a lifeboat leaves the ship while still connected by a cable • Design intent of any electrical connection between the ship and a lifeboat

💭 Think About

• If a lifeboat is being lowered in an emergency, what is the safest thing that should happen to any power cord connected to the ship? • Which option best matches typical maritime safety practice: preventing nuisance unplugging, or ensuring automatic disconnection in an emergency? • What could be the consequence if a cord remains firmly attached between the lifeboat and ship as the boat is lowered away?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether 46 CFR Subchapter J mentions automatic disconnection or similar wording for lifeboat electrical connections. • Verify if the regulation emphasizes safety during launching over convenience in normal use. • Confirm that any required feature prevents the lifeboat from being held or damaged by an attached electrical cable when it is lowered.
