🔍 Key Concepts

• Emergency access to bilge pump controls on offshore units • Typical location and function of a Motor Control Center (MCC) • Why bilge pumps must be operable even if accommodations/control spaces are inaccessible

💭 Think About

• If there is flooding in machinery or lower spaces, which location would remain safest and most accessible to start/stop the bilge pumps? • Which of these locations is specifically designed for grouping and controlling large electrical loads like pumps and motors? • In an emergency, where would trained technical crew most likely go to operate and troubleshoot pump controls?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which space on the COASTAL DRILLER is designated as the main electrical control point for motors and pumps • Consider which locations are primarily administrative or monitoring versus equipment control areas • Confirm which option best matches standard practice for centralized pump control on mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs)
