Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1456 (Set 45)

A liferaft with a capacity of 8 people used in ocean service is required by regulations to carry __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 12 liters of fresh water

SOLAS standards require survival craft to carry 1.5 liters of fresh water per person, with an allowance to reduce this by 0.5 liters per person if a desalinator is provided. For an 8-person liferaft without reduction, exactly 12 liters of water are required.
