🔍 Key Concepts

• reserve buoyancy on a semisubmersible Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) • The difference between submerged and above‑water structures • Where void spaces above the waterline are typically located on a semi-submersible MODU

💭 Think About

• Which parts of a semisubmersible MODU are normally above the waterline rather than always submerged? • Do submerged hulls or connecting structures provide reserve buoyancy above the waterline, or are they part of the main displacement below the surface? • Think about what areas can safely be left empty (void) and still contribute extra buoyancy if flooded or loaded.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options refer to submerged components that stay below the waterline most of the time. • Identify which options clearly refer to structures above the waterline that can contain void spaces. • Confirm that reserve buoyancy comes from enclosed, watertight spaces not normally flooded, located above the vessel’s operating waterline.
