Question 3529Deck General70% to pass
The weight of the loaded personnel carrier, when transferring personnel from a MODU with a crane, must not exceed _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 1/10 of the breaking strength of the hoist rope times the parts of line used.
This is the correct answer because the Coast Guard regulations specify that the weight of the loaded personnel carrier must not exceed 1/10 of the breaking strength of the hoist rope times the parts of line used. This is a safety factor to prevent the overloading and potential failure of the hoist system during the personnel transfer operation.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific Coast Guard regulation regarding the weight limit for a loaded personnel carrier during a MODU transfer.
