Question 3772 Deck General

70% to pass

Lifeboat winches on a MODU are required to be inspected and an entry made in the logbook. What should this entry include?

A The time required to lower a lifeboat
B The date of inspection and condition of the winch
C The time required to raise a lifeboat
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) The date of inspection and condition of the winch. Lifeboat winches on a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) are required to be inspected, and the inspection details must be recorded in the logbook. This requirement is specified in regulations, which state that the date of inspection and the condition of the winch must be documented. The time required to lower or raise a lifeboat is not part of the mandatory logbook entry. The other answer choices, A) and C), are incorrect because they do not reflect the regulatory requirements for the lifeboat winch inspection logbook entry on a MODU.
