Which component is used to lift the EOSS?

Which component is used to lift the EOSS?

• A. The davit
• B. The ballast
• C. The mount
• D. The flir

Answer: (A)

A davit is the lifting device on a ship, essentially a small crane that extends over the rail to raise or lower equipment like lifeboats and EOSS units. It provides the controlled motion needed to lift the EOSS safely from stowage to deployment in the water and back. Ballast is just weight used to adjust stability, not for lifting. The mount is a fixed attachment point, not a mechanism for lifting. FLIR is a sensing device, not involved in lifting. So the component used to lift the EOSS is the davit.
