Question 3352 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 2. According to the regulations governing mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), lifeboats must be installed in at least two separate locations on the MODU. This requirement is in place to ensure that in the event of an emergency, there are multiple means of evacuation available to the crew, increasing the chances of survival. The other answer choices are incorrect because 1 lifeboat location would not provide sufficient redundancy, 3 lifeboat locations are not required, and 4 lifeboat locations exceed the minimum regulatory requirement for MODUs.
