70% to pass

What must the Master or person in charge of a MODU enter in the logbook after conducting a boat drill?

A The number of each lifeboat not lowered during each drill
B The length of time an oar propelled lifeboat is rowed
C Only the number of each motor propelled lifeboat that is lowered
D Which survival craft was used in the drill
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Which survival craft was used in the drill. The reason this is the correct answer is that the regulations require the Master or person in charge of a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) to enter in the logbook the specific survival craft that was used during each boat drill. This is specified in the Coast Guard regulations under 46 CFR 109.213(d), which states that the logbook entry must include "the number and type of survival craft used in the drill." The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not fully meet the regulatory requirement. Answer A focuses only on lifeboats, while Answer B is specific to oar-propelled lifeboats. Answer C is too narrow, as it only requires logging motor-propelled lifeboats. The regulations call for logging all types of survival craft used, not just specific details about certain types.
