Question 3348 Deck General

The correct answer is C) lower the liferaft down with its full complement. The davit aboard a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is used to lower the liferaft, with its full complement of personnel, into the water in the event of an emergency. This is a critical safety function, as the davit ensures the liferaft can be safely deployed and accessed by the crew. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) moving equipment is not the primary purpose of a davit, B) using a davit to lower food/water to a liferaft is not a common practice, and D) lowering personnel directly by a transfer basket is not the typical use of a davit on a MODU.
