Question 3398 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Leeward side. In adverse weather conditions, it is important to plan the mooring orientation so that the supply vessel can be offloaded on the leeward side of the unit. The leeward side is the side that is protected from the wind, which allows the crane to safely and effectively load and unload the vessel. This ensures the safety of the operation and minimizes the risk of the vessel being damaged by the wind or waves. The other options are incorrect because: A) Offloading on the crosswind side would expose the vessel to the wind and waves, making the operation more dangerous; B) Offloading on the upwind side would subject the vessel to the full force of the wind, making it difficult and unsafe to operate the crane; and D) The weather side is the same as the upwind side, so it would have the same issues as option B.
