How often must a rated load test be performed on a crane on a MODU?

A Every 12 months
B Every 24 months
C Every 36 months
D Every 48 months
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Every 48 months. According to US Coast Guard regulations, a rated load test on a crane on a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) must be performed every 48 months. This requirement is specified in 46 CFR 107.259, which states that cranes on MODUs must be load tested at their rated capacity at intervals not exceeding 48 months. The other options are incorrect because 12 months (A), 24 months (B), and 36 months (C) are not the required intervals specified in the regulations for rated load testing of cranes on MODUs.
