Question 4660 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Along the centerline of the lower hulls. The keel of a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is typically located along the centerline of the lower hulls. This provides stability and structural integrity to the MODU, allowing it to withstand the forces exerted by waves, currents, and other environmental factors. The keel being positioned along the centerline of the lower hulls is a common design feature for MODUs to ensure their safe and stable operation. The other options are incorrect because the keel is not located along the axis of rotation of the hull (B), the roll axis of the hull (C), or the midships axis (D). These locations would not provide the necessary structural support and stability required for a MODU.
