🔍 Key Concepts

• Downflooding on a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) and what happens when openings reach the water • Difference between watertight and non-watertight openings (doors, vents, hatches, air intakes, etc.) • How an angle of heel affects the relationship between openings and the outside water level

💭 Think About

• As a MODU heels, what is the first dangerous event that leads to progressive flooding and loss of stability? • Which choice best describes the first critical condition where outside water can enter the interior through an opening? • Think about whether the definition is about maximum or minimum of something, and whether it relates to buoyancy, opening location, or freeboard/marking.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes the earliest (minimum) heel angle where water can start to enter the unit through an opening. • Focus on the term opening and whether it must be watertight or not for downflooding to begin. • Eliminate options that talk about conditions that happen much later (like marks or lines being submerged) rather than the first unsafe condition.
