What action should you take if a davit-launched liferaft aboard a MODU cannot be launched because of damage to the davit?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) roll the liferaft over the side.
If a davit-launched liferaft aboard a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) cannot be launched due to davit damage, the proper action is to roll the liferaft over the side. This allows the liferaft to inflate and deploy in the water, even if the davit is not functional. The other options are not appropriate - going to another liferaft station may not be possible, inflating on deck could be dangerous, and cutting the liferaft free could damage it. Rolling it over the side is the safest and most effective way to deploy the liferaft when the davit is inoperable.
