Question 5071 Deck General
70% to passIn selecting a tug for moving a MODU, consideration should be given to its _______________.
A
indicated horsepower, bollard pull, and displacement
B
indicated horsepower, maneuverability, and displacement
C
indicated horsepower, bollard pull, and maneuverability
D
bollard pull, displacement, and maneuverability
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) bollard pull, displacement, and maneuverability. When selecting a tug to move a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), the key factors to consider are the tug's bollard pull (the maximum force the tug can exert), displacement (the tug's weight and size), and maneuverability (the tug's ability to control and position the MODU). These characteristics directly impact the tug's capability to safely and effectively move the large, heavy MODU. The other options, while relevant for tug selection in general, do not specifically address the primary considerations for moving a MODU.
