70% to pass

Which statement, concerning offshore supply vessel operations, correctly defines the length of a voyage?

A The shortest measurable distance from the port of departure to the port of arrival
B The distance from the point of departure to the most distant point offshore
C The total distance from the port of departure to the port of arrival, not including stops at offshore points
D The distance from the point of departure to the vessel's first stop
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) The total distance from the port of departure to the port of arrival, not including stops at offshore points. This is the correct answer because the length of a voyage for an offshore supply vessel is defined as the total distance traveled from the port of departure to the port of arrival, regardless of any stops made at offshore points during the voyage. The distance is measured point-to-point and does not include the distance traveled to and from offshore locations. The other options are incorrect because A) only measures the shortest distance, B) includes the distance to the most distant offshore point, and D) only considers the distance to the first stop, rather than the total voyage distance.
