When a ship exceeds one hundred tons, it is required to have at least two lifeboats. In the case of the ship exceeding two hundred tons, it must have at least three lifeboats.
Big enough to require lifeboat drill in passenger ships. (I know, I've done it)
A lifeboat is a smaller boat carried by a bigger ship so that the people onboard have something to escape to if the big ship would sink. A lifeboat can also be a specially equipped, very rugged, well equipped and seaworthy boat used to rescue ships and crews in distress.
That totally depends on the size of the lifeboats. Small ones might fit 30, but the ones on some of the big cruise ships can fit 370+.
You probably mean the crew of the lifeboat. For any boats, yachts, ships etc, 'crew' is the usual word for the people who make it work.
Large ships carry lifeboats because large ships occasionally sink. Lifeboats can carry the people who were on the large ships until they either reach land or can be rescued by another boat.
No they don't need to today all ships have to have lifeboat capacity for all passengers aboard.
ships can get over one million centimeters
Ships can be over one million cm
Most cruise ships have odd numbered life boats on the starboard side and even on the port side. The lifeboats are usually numbered from smallest to largest, front to back. Lifeboat 1 would most likely be the forward-most on the starboard side.
Lifeboat 6

Yes, lifeboat is one word.
