Question 3719Deck General70% to pass
On a MODU with lifeboats stowed in two different locations, if all the lifeboats are lost in one location then the remaining lifeboats must accommodate what percentage of the persons permitted on board?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 100%.
If all the lifeboats in one location on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) are lost, the remaining lifeboats must be able to accommodate 100% of the persons permitted on board. This requirement is specified in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations, which govern the safety equipment and procedures for vessels, including MODUs.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the SOLAS requirement for the remaining lifeboats to accommodate all persons on board in the event of a partial lifeboat loss.
