Question 3769 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Until the next inspection for certification. The records of tests and inspections of firefighting equipment on board a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) must be retained on board until the next inspection for certification. This requirement is based on the regulations set forth by the US Coast Guard for the operation and maintenance of MODUs. The regulations stipulate that all firefighting equipment and systems must be inspected and tested at regular intervals, and the records of these inspections must be kept on board until the next scheduled inspection, which is typically conducted during the certification process. The other options (A, B, and C) are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's regulations for MODU firefighting equipment record retention.
