70% to pass

According to regulations, a Master or person in charge of a MODU is required to submit a report of a loss of life _______________.

A to the nearest OCMI
B to the next of kin
C to the nearest coroner
D only when it happens while underway
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) to the nearest OCMI (Officer in Charge of Marine Inspection). According to Coast Guard regulations, the master or person in charge of a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is required to submit a report of any loss of life to the nearest OCMI, regardless of whether the incident occurred while the MODU was underway or not. This requirement is outlined in the Coast Guard regulations, and it applies to all losses of life on a MODU, not just those that happen during the vessel's operation. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirement to report the loss of life to the nearest OCMI.
