For means of abandonment of a MODU, which type of embarkation does not require prior approval by the Coast Guard?

A Elevators
B Movable ladders
C Safety booms
D Fixed ladders
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Fixed ladders. Fixed ladders do not require prior approval by the Coast Guard for means of abandonment on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit). This is because fixed ladders are considered a standard, approved method of emergency egress from a MODU, as per Coast Guard regulations. The other options, such as elevators, movable ladders, and safety booms, would require specific Coast Guard approval as alternative or supplemental means of abandonment.
