70% to passOn surface type offshore drilling units, each survival craft must be capable of being launched to the water at the minimum operating draft, under unfavorable conditions of trim and with the unit listed not less than _______________.
A
14°
B
20°
C
26°
D
32°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 20°. The regulation that makes this the correct answer is found in 46 CFR 133.105(c), which states that each survival craft on a surface type offshore drilling unit must be capable of being launched to the water at the minimum operating draft, under unfavorable conditions of trim, and with the unit listed not less than 20 degrees. The other options are incorrect because 14° is less than the required 20° listing, 26° is more than the required 20° listing, and 32° is significantly more than the required 20° listing.
