Question 3799Deck General70% to pass
In the case of an injury causing a person to be incapacitated, the Master or person in charge of a mobile offshore drilling unit must submit a report to the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) nearest Marine Safety or Marine Inspection Office.
The reasoning is that under U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the master or person in charge of a mobile offshore drilling unit is required to report any injury causing a person to be incapacitated to the nearest Marine Safety or Marine Inspection Office. This is because the Coast Guard is responsible for overseeing the safety and operations of mobile offshore drilling units in U.S. waters.
The other options are incorrect because the American Bureau of Shipping (A) is a private organization that does not have regulatory authority over injury reporting, the Department of Energy (C) does not have direct oversight over mobile offshore drilling units, and reporting to the nearest hospital (D) would not fulfill the regulatory requirement to notify the Coast Guard.
