70% to pass

On 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 16°
B 20°
C 24°
D 30°
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 20°. The requirement for survival craft to be capable of being launched at the minimum operating draft, under unfavorable conditions of trim and with the unit listed not less than 20°, is specified in the regulations for surface type offshore drilling units. This ensures that the survival craft can be safely launched even in severe conditions, providing a higher level of safety for the crew. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the regulatory requirement. 16° (A) is too low, and 24° (C) and 30° (D) are higher angles than the 20° specified in the regulations.
