Question 1 of 27070

An offshore drilling unit must have enough inflatable liferafts to accommodate at least what percentage of the persons allowed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifesaving appliances requirements for MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) under 46 CFR and SOLAS Chapter III • Difference between lifeboat capacity and liferaft capacity requirements • Concept of total persons allowed on board and minimum survival craft capacity

💭 Think About

• Think about whether liferafts are meant to cover only some of the people or everyone on board in an emergency. • Ask yourself if offshore drilling units are considered low‑, medium‑, or high‑risk environments in terms of abandoning the unit. • Consider how regulations typically treat primary survival craft (lifeboats) versus supplemental survival craft (liferafts).

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter I-A (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) or the applicable SOLAS III provisions for MODUs what percentage of persons must be accommodated in inflatable liferafts. • Check whether the rule speaks about at least a certain percentage, and if that percentage is equal to, less than, or more than the total persons allowed on board. • Confirm whether liferafts are intended to provide full backup capacity if one survival craft system is lost.
