Question 3872 Deck General

The correct answer is D) four years from the date of issue. The International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate issued for a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) is valid for a period of four years from the date of issue, as per the regulations set forth in MARPOL Annex I, Regulation 7. This certificate is required to demonstrate compliance with the international standards for the prevention of oil pollution from ships, which is a critical safety and environmental requirement for MODUs operating globally. The other answer choices are incorrect because one year (A), two years (B), and three years (C) are not the valid durations for an IOPP Certificate on a MODU, as specified in the MARPOL regulations.
