🔍 Key Concepts

• Practical methods of mass rescue when many survivors are in the water • Relative safety of keeping people alongside vs. away from the ship • Using liferafts or boats as intermediary boarding stations instead of bringing everyone directly onto the ship immediately

💭 Think About

• Which option best balances speed of recovery with safety from ship-related hazards (suction, propellers, hull impacts)? • In real-world SAR (search and rescue), how can a large ship most efficiently transfer many survivors from the water or small craft onto the vessel? • Consider which option gives you a stable, controlled platform close to the ship that survivors can move through or be passed through.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option acknowledges that survivors might safely come alongside under controlled conditions? • Which option mentions using something secured alongside as a boarding station or transfer point? • Eliminate any option that would make the rescue unnecessarily slow or risky when there are large numbers of people in the water.

Question 1 of 20

You are proceeding to a distress site and expect large numbers of people in the water. Which statement is TRUE?

Survivors in the water should never be permitted alongside due to the possibility of injury from the vessel.

If the survivors are in inflatable rafts you should approach from windward to create a lee for the survivors.

An inflatable liferaft secured alongside can be an effective boarding station for transfer of survivors from the boats.

You should stop to windward of the survivors in the water and only use the ship's boats to recover the survivors.
