Who is responsible for insuring that each survival craft on a mobile offshore drilling unit is cleaned and inspected once a year?

A The certificated able seaman assigned to that craft
B The certificated lifeboatman assigned to that craft
C The designated person in charge of the rig
D The Coast Guard inspecting officer
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) The designated person in charge of the rig. The reason this is the correct answer is that under Coast Guard regulations, the person in charge of the mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) is responsible for ensuring that all survival craft on the rig are properly cleaned and inspected at least once a year. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for MODUs. The other options, such as an able seaman or lifeboatman, are not directly responsible for this task - the overall responsibility lies with the designated person in charge of the rig.
