Question 3615 Deck General

The correct answer is C) American Petroleum Institute. The design specifications for cranes and crane foundations on Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) are set and published by the American Petroleum Institute (API). API is the primary standards-setting organization for the oil and gas industry in the United States, and it has developed various standards and recommended practices for the design, fabrication, and operation of offshore drilling equipment, including cranes and their foundations. The other options are incorrect because the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers are not the primary authorities responsible for setting the design specifications for cranes and crane foundations on MODUs.
