What is the minimum number of hand held, rocket propelled, parachute, red flare, distress signals required on board offshore drilling units?

Correct Answer: Option C — 12

46 CFR 108.647 requires MODUs to carry a minimum of 12 hand-held, rocket-propelled, parachute red flare distress signals. These pyrotechnics are vital for visual signaling during search and rescue operations, providing high-visibility alerts to passing vessels or aircraft when the unit is in distress.
