Q

Your vessel has 3 lifeboats on each side. The aftermost boat on the port side is designated as which boat number?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Numbering system for lifeboats on both sides of a vessel • How odd and even numbers are assigned to port and starboard lifeboats • From which end of the vessel lifeboats are normally numbered (bow vs. stern)

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether lifeboats are numbered starting from the bow or the stern. How are they usually counted? • Next, recall which side (port or starboard) normally gets odd numbers and which gets even numbers. • Finally, once you know the numbering direction and odd/even side, count the sequence for 3 boats on each side and see what number the aftermost port-side boat would have.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know which side uses odd numbers and which uses even numbers. • Confirm from which end of the ship lifeboats are numbered in order. • Double-check that you have counted all three positions on the port side: forward, middle, and aftermost.
