Question 3632 Deck General

70% to pass

If not attached to the nozzle, each low-velocity spray applicator on a MODU must be stowed _______________.

A on a rack inside the quarters near the entrance
B next to the fire hydrant to which the fire hose is attached
C in a protected area on the main deck
D inside a machinery space near the entrance
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) next to the fire hydrant to which the fire hose is attached. This is the correct answer because the regulations for Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) require that when not in use, each low-velocity spray applicator must be stowed next to the fire hydrant it is connected to. This ensures the applicator is readily accessible and can be quickly deployed in the event of a fire. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulation for stowing low-velocity spray applicators on MODUs. Stowing the applicators in quarters, on the main deck, or in a machinery space does not meet the requirement to have them stored next to the fire hydrant they are connected to.
