70% to pass

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

A Certificate of Inspection
B American Bureau of Shipping code
C Safety of Life at Sea Convention
D Minerals Management Service regulations
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Certificate of Inspection. The Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the US Coast Guard for a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) specifies the minimum number of certificated able seamen and lifeboatmen required to be onboard. This requirement is stated in the COI, as the Coast Guard regulations determine the crew composition and qualifications necessary for the safe operation of the MODU. The other options are incorrect because the American Bureau of Shipping code, the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, and the Minerals Management Service regulations do not directly specify the crew requirements for a MODU, which is the responsibility of the US Coast Guard through the COI.
