70% to passThe person in charge shall insure that each lifeboat on a MODU is lowered to the water, launched, and operated at least once every _______________.
A
month
B
2 months
C
3 months
D
6 months
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 3 months. According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 109.503, the person in charge of a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) must ensure that each lifeboat is lowered to the water, launched, and operated at least once every 3 months. This regulation ensures that the lifeboats are regularly tested and maintained in proper working condition in case of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because a 1-month (A) or 2-month (B) frequency is too short, while a 6-month (D) frequency is too long for the required lifeboat testing and operation.
