Question 3375 Deck General

The correct answer is C) is a specialist who is hired to provide advice and guidance on aspects of the move. A marine surveyor is a specialist who is hired to provide expert advice and guidance on various aspects of a vessel's condition and operations, including during a move or relocation. The surveyor does not take over or relieve the existing chain of command or personnel responsible for the safe operation of the vessel or mobile offshore drilling unit. The Offshore Installation Manager remains in charge of the overall safe movement and operation of the rig. The surveyor is simply there to offer professional input and recommendations based on their specialized expertise, but does not become responsible for the actual movement or safe transit of the rig. The other answer choices are incorrect because the surveyor does not become the person in charge (A), does not relieve the Offshore Installation Manager (B), and does not become directly responsible for the safe movement of the rig (D).
