Question 4273 Deck General

The correct answer is D) 55 minutes. This is because the time required to lower the legs of the COASTAL DRILLER from a TOC (tip-of-can) position of 1.20 feet to 60.50 feet, including the time needed to place the generators on-line, is approximately 55 minutes. This time estimate is based on the standard operating procedures and regulations governing the safe operation of offshore drilling rigs in severe weather conditions. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time required to complete this critical safety procedure. Option A (8 minutes) is too short, Option B (32 minutes) is too short, and Option C (47 minutes) is also too short, given the need to lower the legs a significant distance and engage the generators.
