Question 3361 Deck General

70% to pass

On a MODU, each EPIRB or SART must be tested at least once _______________.

A each week
B every two weeks
C each month
D every two months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) each month. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires that on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs), each Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) and Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) must be tested at least once every month. This is specified in 46 CFR 109.201, which states that these devices must be tested "at least once each month." The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the monthly testing requirement in the regulations. Testing every week (option A) or every two weeks (option B) would be more frequent than the regulatory standard, while testing every two months (option D) would be less frequent.
