Question 1 of 27070

Of the required ring life buoys for a MODU, how many must be equipped with a water light?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR life-saving appliances for MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) • Requirements for ring life buoys vs. ring life buoys with water lights and lifelines • How many ring life buoys are required in total, and what percentage or fraction of them must have lights

💭 Think About

• First, recall or look up how many total ring life buoys a MODU must carry, then determine how many of those must be fitted with water lights • Think about the purpose of a water light on a ring buoy – does every buoy need one, or only those intended for certain locations (like at night, near deck edges, or overside work areas)? • Compare MODU requirements with those for ships or other offshore units – are MODUs usually required to have more, fewer, or about the same number of lighted buoys?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact CFR section that covers life-saving appliances for MODUs (in 46 CFR, Subchapter I-A) • Check how many total ring life buoys are required on a MODU of typical size covered by the question • Confirm the wording: does the regulation say “at least X shall be fitted with self-igniting lights” or give a ratio/percentage (e.g., half, at least two, etc.) and then apply that to the total number required.
