What class of bulkhead is required around the galley on a MODU?

A Class A
B Class B
C Class C
D Class D
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Class A. According to the regulations governing mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), the galley must be surrounded by Class A bulkheads. Class A bulkheads are the most fire-resistant construction, designed to contain a fire for a significant period of time. This is necessary for the galley, which is a potential source of fire due to the cooking equipment and flammable materials present. The other answer choices, Class B, Class C, and Class D bulkheads, do not provide the same level of fire protection required around the galley on a MODU.
