Question 3843 Deck General

The correct answer is D) number of credentialed personnel required on board. The certificate of inspection (COI) for a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) will specify the number of credentialed personnel, such as licensed officers and crew, that are required to be on board the vessel. This is because the COI outlines the operational and safety requirements for the MODU, and the staffing levels are a crucial part of ensuring the vessel is operated safely and in compliance with regulations. The other options are incorrect because the COI does not typically specify the maximum water depth for drilling (A), the next date for an inclining experiment (B), or the maximum load line draft (C). Those details would be found in other documentation or regulations applicable to the MODU's operations.
