Multiple Choice

Which item is NOT typically listed on a lifeboat nameplate?

A lifeboat nameplate conveys identification and safety-related data needed for proper operation, maintenance, and regulatory checks. It typically lists the manufacturer’s name, the boat’s serial number and date of manufacture, the light-load and full-load conditions/weights, and the number of persons allowed aboard. If the lifeboat is motorized, it includes the engine model and horsepower. It also shows the last inspection date. Hull color isn’t included because color is cosmetic and has no bearing on buoyancy, capacity, or safety requirements, whereas the other items provide essential information for correct use, matching equipment, and maintenance.
