Question 4519Deck General70% to pass
When transferring personnel with a MODU crane, the weight of the loaded personnel carrier must not exceed _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 1/3 of the static rated load at the lift radius.
The reason this is the correct answer is that when transferring personnel with a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) crane, the weight of the loaded personnel carrier must not exceed 1/3 of the crane's static rated load at the lift radius. This is a safety requirement specified in the regulations governing the use of cranes for personnel transfer on MODUs.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulation for personnel transfer on MODUs. Option A and B reference the breaking strength of the hoist rope, which is not the relevant factor for personnel transfer. Option D would allow for a higher weight than the 1/3 limit, which would be unsafe.
