Question 3624 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 100% of the allowed capacity of the persons for the raft. According to Coast Guard regulations, when weight-testing a davit-launched liferaft on a mobile offshore drilling unit, the test weight must be equivalent to the weight of the raft, its required equipment, and 100% of the allowed capacity of persons for the raft. This ensures that the davit and associated launching system can safely handle the full weight of the raft, equipment, and people during an emergency evacuation. The other options are incorrect because 90% (A) would not fully test the capacity, while 110% (C) and 120% (D) would unnecessarily overload the system beyond the designed specifications.
