70% to pass

What must be provided on a MODU helicopter deck that is equipped with fueling facilities?

A Foam fire protection system
B Fire alarm
C Foam testing station
D Fuel testing station
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Foam fire protection system. A MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) helicopter deck equipped with fueling facilities must have a foam fire protection system, as per the requirements of the US Coast Guard regulations. This is necessary to quickly extinguish any potential fires that may occur during helicopter fueling operations, which involve the handling of highly flammable aviation fuel. The other options are incorrect because: B) A fire alarm is not a specific requirement for a MODU helicopter deck with fueling facilities, C) A foam testing station is not required, and D) A fuel testing station is not a necessary component for the fire protection of the helicopter deck.
