The number 2 lifeboat on a tanker would be __________.
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — forwardmost on the port side
SOLAS and 46 CFR vessel safety arrangements dictate that lifeboat station numbering begins at the forwardmost position on each side and proceeds aft. Thus, the even-numbered lifeboats on the port side designate number 2 as the forwardmost unit.
