70% to pass

A MODU crane which has been idle for a period of over six months shall be inspected to the same standards as a _______________.

A yearly inspection
B quarterly inspection
C monthly inspection
D weekly inspection
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) yearly inspection. The reason is that the U.S. Coast Guard regulations state that a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) crane which has been idle for a period of over six months shall be inspected to the same standards as a yearly inspection. This is to ensure the crane's safety and functionality after an extended period of non-use. The other options are incorrect because a quarterly, monthly, or weekly inspection would not be the appropriate standard for a MODU crane that has been idle for over six months. A yearly inspection is the required standard in this case, as per the Coast Guard regulations.
