What is the minimum required number of ring life buoys on a MODU?

A 4
B 8
C 12
D 16
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 8 ring life buoys on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit). This requirement is specified in Title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 108.525, which states that a MODU must have at least 8 ring life buoys. The regulation aims to ensure adequate safety equipment is available in case of an emergency on a MODU. The other options are incorrect because 4 ring life buoys (A) would not meet the regulatory requirement, while 12 (C) and 16 (D) would exceed the minimum number specified in the regulations.
