The Master or person in charge of a MODU shall ensure the crane record book shows the _______________.

A date and description of each failure
B average load in pounds for each usage
C total number of lifts for each usage
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) the date and description of each failure. According to the US Coast Guard regulations, the Master or person in charge of a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is required to ensure that the crane record book on the vessel shows the date and description of each failure of the crane. This is necessary for proper documentation and maintenance of the crane's safety and performance. The other options, B) the average load in pounds for each usage and C) the total number of lifts for each usage, while potentially useful information, are not the specific requirements mandated by the Coast Guard regulations for the crane record book on a MODU.
