Q

The heavier outboard strake of deck plating on a MODU is called the deck __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) deck construction terms • Difference between longitudinal members (running fore-and-aft) and transverse members (running athwartships) • Purpose of a heavier outboard deck plate near the side shell

💭 Think About

• Think about which structural member is usually located along the outer edge of the deck, parallel to the side of the hull or platform. • Ask yourself: which choice names a plate or plated area, rather than a frame, beam, or small reinforcing piece? • Consider what part of the deck would logically be made heavier to help tie the deck into the side structure of the MODU.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which of the options normally run longitudinally along the ship or platform side. • Verify which term describes a heavier strip of deck plating at the outboard edge, not a small local reinforcement. • Eliminate any terms that usually mean internal framing (like transverse beams or small local pads).
