The person in charge of a MODU shall insure that the fuel tank of each motor propelled lifeboat is emptied, and the fuel is changed at least once every _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 12 months.
According to the regulations governing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs), the person in charge must ensure that the fuel tank of each motor-propelled lifeboat is emptied, and the fuel is changed at least once every 12 months. This requirement is outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 109.525, which specifies the maintenance and inspection requirements for MODU lifeboats and other survival craft.
The other options are incorrect because 3 months (A) and 6 months (B) are too frequent, while 24 months (D) is too infrequent for the required fuel tank emptying and fuel change interval.
