70% to pass

The number of certificated able seamen and lifeboatmen required on a MODU is determined by the _______________.

A Minerals Management Service
B American Bureau of Shipping
C Corps of Engineers
D Coast Guard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Coast Guard. The number of certificated able seamen and lifeboatmen required on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is determined by the U.S. Coast Guard, not the Minerals Management Service, American Bureau of Shipping, or the Corps of Engineers. The Coast Guard is responsible for the certification and licensing of personnel working on MODUs, including the requirements for able seamen and lifeboatmen, as part of their regulatory oversight of maritime safety and operations. The other options are incorrect because the Minerals Management Service, American Bureau of Shipping, and Corps of Engineers do not have the authority to set the personnel requirements for MODUs, which falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard.
