Q

During an evacuation from a MODU, an individual without the option of a survival craft or liferaft should enter the water on the leeward side, except when __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Leeward vs windward side of a MODU during evacuation and how wind affects smoke, flames, and drifting fuel • The meaning of "without the option of a survival craft or liferaft" and how that affects which choices can realistically apply • The effect of a severe list on which side is closer to the water and safer to jump from

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which options clearly conflict with the phrase "without the option of a survival craft or liferaft" in the question stem • Consider when the normally safer leeward side might actually become more dangerous or impractical because of the MODU’s condition or position in the water • Think about how a heavy list changes the relative height of the windward and leeward sides above the sea surface

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice(s) involve types of craft you supposedly do NOT have the option to use, based on the question wording • Check which option directly relates to the physical safety of entering the water itself (height from water, risk from structure), not just what’s nearby • Confirm that the exception should describe a situation where using the leeward side is no longer the safer choice because of the unit’s attitude or surrounding hazards
