In how many locations must lifeboats be installed on a mobile offshore drilling unit?

A 4
B 3
C 2
D 1
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 2. According to the regulations for mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), lifeboats must be installed in at least two separate locations on the MODU. This is specified in the Code for the Construction and Equipment of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU Code), which is the international standard for the design and operation of these types of vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because 4 or 1 lifeboat locations would not meet the minimum requirement of 2 separate locations, and 3 locations is not specified in the MODU Code regulations.
