Question 3838 Deck General

70% to pass

To determine the number of inflatable liferafts required on a mobile offshore drilling unit, you should check the _______________.

A stability letter
B Operations Manual
C Certificate of Inspection
D load line certificate
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard for a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) will specify the number and type of inflatable liferafts required to be carried on board. This requirement is based on the vessel's gross tonnage, number of persons on board, and other factors outlined in the Coast Guard regulations. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly specify the liferaft requirements. The stability letter addresses the vessel's stability, the Operations Manual covers the unit's operating procedures, and the load line certificate deals with the vessel's draft and freeboard, but none of these directly determine the liferaft carriage requirements.
