Question 396General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passOverhaul of a ship at a shipyard represents an example of a large-scale project executed under contract. What characteristics best describe the terms of the project deliverables?
The correct answer is B. The characteristics that best describe the terms of the project deliverables for a ship overhaul at a shipyard are: - The shipyard repairs contract is time-limited with specific start and end dates - The contract is cost-defined, meaning the total cost of the project is agreed upon upfront - The contract is very specific in terms of the repairs that are to be performed This is because ship overhaul projects at shipyards are typically well-defined, contractual agreements with clear scope, timeline, and cost parameters. The shipyard and the vessel owner agree on the specific repairs and modifications to be made, and the contract has a fixed start and end date. The other answer choices are incorrect because they either lack specificity in the contracted repairs (A), have an undetermined cost (C), or have an open-ended timeline (D), which does not accurately reflect the characteristics of a typical ship overhaul project.
