Question 3613 Deck General

The correct answer is C) twelve months. According to the regulations in 46 CFR 107.235, each hand portable, semi-portable and fixed fire extinguishing unit on a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) must be tested and inspected at least once every twelve months. This requirement ensures that all fire extinguishing equipment on the MODU is properly maintained and ready for use in the event of an emergency. The other answer choices are incorrect because six weeks (A) and six months (B) are too frequent for the required inspection interval, while two years (D) is too long and does not meet the regulatory standard of at least once every twelve months.
