Question 3867 Deck General

70% to pass

The document that certifies the correctness of the load line marks on a MODU is called the _______________.

A Certificate of Inspection
B SOLAS Certificate
C Certificate of Documentation
D Load line certificate
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Load line certificate. The load line certificate is the document that certifies the correctness of the load line marks on a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU). The load line marks indicate the maximum draft to which the MODU can be safely submerged, and the load line certificate verifies that these marks have been properly assigned and surveyed. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Certificate of Inspection is issued by the Coast Guard for inspected vessels, but does not specifically address load line marks. B) The SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Certificate is related to the vessel's compliance with international safety regulations, not load line marks. C) The Certificate of Documentation is the registration document for a vessel, and does not certify load line marks.
