Question 3593 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) is the official document issued by the US Coast Guard that specifies the minimum fire extinguishing equipment required for a specific mobile offshore drilling unit. This includes the number, type, and location of portable fire extinguishers that must be maintained on board. The COI is the primary regulatory document that outlines all safety and operational requirements for the vessel, including fire protection measures. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly specify the fire extinguisher requirements. A hot work permit may address temporary fire safety precautions, the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Certificate applies to international vessels, and the Operations Manual may contain general safety information but does not definitively state the fire extinguisher requirements.
