70% to pass

For a MODU not on an international voyage, an approved substitute for an impulse projected rocket-type line throwing appliance is a _______________.

A heaving line
B shoulder-type line throwing gun
C spring loaded line thrower
D hand thrown buoyant line
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) shoulder-type line throwing gun. For a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) not on an international voyage, the regulations allow for an approved substitute to the impulse projected rocket-type line throwing appliance, which is a shoulder-type line throwing gun. This is specified in the relevant regulations for equipment requirements on MODUs. The other options are incorrect because a heaving line (A) is a different type of equipment, a spring-loaded line thrower (C) is not an approved substitute, and a hand-thrown buoyant line (D) does not meet the requirements for an approved substitute to the rocket-type line throwing appliance.
