Question 3310 Deck General

70% to pass

Any firefighting equipment that is carried in addition to the minimum required number on a MODU must _______________.

A be stowed in a separate area
B meet the applicable standards
C be marked as additional equipment
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) meet the applicable standards. The reasoning is that any firefighting equipment carried on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) in addition to the minimum required must meet the applicable standards set forth by the U.S. Coast Guard regulations. This ensures that the additional equipment is safe, functional, and provides the expected level of fire protection, regardless of where it is stowed or whether it is marked as additional. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully address the requirement for the additional equipment to meet standards. Stowage location (A) and markings (C) are not the primary concern - the equipment must first and foremost comply with the relevant firefighting equipment standards.
