Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #471 (Set 14)

You are proceeding to a distress site. The survivors are in liferafts. What will make your ship more visible to the survivors?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Turning on all available deck lights at night

Illuminating the vessel by turning on all available deck lights at night significantly increases silhouetting and direct visibility for survivors in unlit liferafts scanning the horizon for their rescue vessel.
