When transferring personnel with a MODU crane, the weight of the loaded personnel carrier must not exceed _______________.
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer C is the correct response.
According to the regulations, when transferring personnel with a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) crane, the weight of the loaded personnel carrier must not exceed 1/3 of the static rated load at the lift radius. This is to ensure a sufficient safety factor and prevent overloading of the crane, which could lead to dangerous situations.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirement. Option A and B reference the breaking strength of the hoist rope, which is not the appropriate criteria for determining the maximum personnel carrier weight. Option D proposes a 1/2 limit, which is less conservative than the 1/3 requirement specified in the regulations.
