For means of abandonment of a MODU, which type of embarkation does not require prior approval by the Coast Guard?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Fixed ladders.
Fixed ladders do not require prior approval by the Coast Guard for means of abandonment on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit). This is because fixed ladders are considered a standard, approved method of emergency egress from a MODU, as per Coast Guard regulations. The other options, such as elevators, movable ladders, and safety booms, would require specific Coast Guard approval as alternative or supplemental means of abandonment.
