70% to pass

A continuous watertight bulkhead on a MODU is normally also a(n) _______________.

A joiner bulkhead
B centerline bulkhead
C exterior bulkhead
D structural bulkhead
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) structural bulkhead. A continuous watertight bulkhead on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is considered a structural bulkhead because it is a load-bearing partition that contributes to the overall strength and integrity of the vessel's hull. Structural bulkheads are designed to withstand the forces and stresses acting on the MODU, ensuring its stability and safety. The other options are incorrect because: A) a joiner bulkhead is a non-structural partition used for dividing spaces, B) a centerline bulkhead runs along the longitudinal centerline of the vessel, and C) an exterior bulkhead is the outermost structural boundary of the MODU.
