Question 4646 Deck General

70% to pass

Vertical partitions which provide strength and compartmentalization on a MODU are called _______________.

A joiner work
B decks
C walls
D bulkheads
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) bulkheads. Bulkheads are the vertical partitions that provide strength and compartmentalization on a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU). Bulkheads are structural elements that divide the interior spaces of a vessel or MODU into different compartments, which helps maintain the structural integrity and improve safety in the event of an accident or incident. The other options are incorrect because: A) joiner work refers to the interior finish and furniture of a vessel, B) decks are the horizontal structural elements, and C) walls is a more general term that does not specifically refer to the structural partitions on a MODU.
