Question 3837 Deck General

70% to pass

To determine the number of industrial personnel allowed on a mobile offshore drilling unit, you should check the _______________.

A Safety of Life at Sea Certificate
B Operations Manual
C Certificate of Inspection
D Muster List ("Station Bill")
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) is the key document that specifies the operational limitations and requirements for a mobile offshore drilling unit, including the number of industrial personnel allowed on board. The COI is issued by the US Coast Guard and outlines the vessel's design, equipment, and operational parameters that must be adhered to. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Certificate is for international ocean-going vessels, not domestic mobile offshore units. B) The Operations Manual contains general procedures, but does not specify the maximum number of personnel. D) The Muster List details emergency procedures, but does not determine the total number of allowed personnel.
