70% to pass

On the machinery deck of the COASTAL DRILLER, each watertight compartment has at least one sump valve that can be remotely operated from the _______________.

A bilge pit
B OIM's office
C OIM's quarters
D control house
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) bilge pit. The requirement for remotely operated sump valves in each watertight compartment on the machinery deck of a vessel like the COASTAL DRILLER is typically specified in Coast Guard regulations for design and equipment of offshore supply vessels. These regulations mandate that such remotely operated valves be located and controlled from the bilge pit, which is the centralized location for monitoring and controlling the vessel's bilge and ballast systems. The other options (OIM's office, OIM's quarters, control house) are not the correct locations for the remote operation of these sump valves, as they are not the primary control station for the vessel's critical safety systems.
