Question 3671Deck General70% to pass
When weight-testing a davit launched liferaft on a mobile offshore drilling unit, the deadweight equivalent for each person in the allowed capacity of the raft is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 165 pounds.
The U.S. Coast Guard regulations for mobile offshore drilling units require that the davit-launched liferafts be weight-tested using a deadweight equivalent of 165 pounds per person for the allowed capacity of the raft. This is the standard weight used for liferaft capacity calculations to account for the average weight of a person, including their clothing and any survival gear they may be carrying.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not match the 165-pound deadweight requirement specified in the Coast Guard regulations for this type of vessel and liferaft system.
