Question 3723 Deck General
70% to passOn surface type offshore drilling units, each survival craft must be capable of being launched to the water at the minimum operating draft, under unfavorable conditions of trim and with the unit listed not less than _______________.
The correct answer is C) 20°. According to the regulations for surface type offshore drilling units, each survival craft must be capable of being launched to the water at the minimum operating draft, under unfavorable conditions of trim and with the unit listed not less than 20°. This requirement is specified in the regulations to ensure the survival craft can be safely launched even in severe weather or emergency conditions when the drilling unit may be significantly tilted or unstable. The other answer choices are incorrect because 6° is not a sufficient list angle to meet the regulatory requirement, and 12° and 25° are also not the correct minimum list angle specified in the regulations for these types of offshore drilling units.
