70% to pass

What are the maximum acceptable levels of ice and snow accumulations on the COASTAL DRILLER?

A 3 inches
B 1 1/4 inches
C 2 inches
D none
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) none. The U.S. Coast Guard regulations do not allow any accumulation of ice or snow on vessels like the COASTAL DRILLER. Even small amounts of ice and snow can pose serious risks to the stability and safety of a vessel, which is why the regulations mandate that there should be no ice or snow accumulation at all. The other answer choices (A, B, C) are incorrect because they suggest allowable levels of ice and snow, which goes against the Coast Guard's strict requirements for maintaining a vessel's structural integrity and safe operation.
