Q

The decks of a MODU are supported by transverse members called __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse vs. longitudinal structural members in ship/MODU construction • Which members directly support deck plating • Difference between a frame, a beam, and a longitudinal

💭 Think About

• Which choice specifically describes members that run athwartships (side to side) to carry the deck load? • Which of these terms is normally used for the primary supports directly under the deck plating on most vessels and MODUs? • Which option names members that usually run fore‑and‑aft rather than transverse?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which member is defined as side‑to‑side deck supports under the deck plating. • Eliminate any option that usually refers to hull side reinforcement rather than deck support. • Eliminate any option that usually indicates fore‑and‑aft members, not transverse ones.
