Question 2281 Deck General

The correct answer is A) At least 5 gallons. According to the regulations for vessels constructed after June 30, 1974, the minimum fuel-oil discharge-containment needed for a 100 gross ton vessel is at least 5 gallons. This requirement is specified in 33 CFR 155.320, which states that vessels of 100 gross tons or more must have a means to contain oil spills of at least 5 gallons. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirement. 1 barrel is equal to 42 gallons, so B) at least 1 barrel is too much. C) at least 2 barrels and D) at least 3 barrels are also incorrect, as they exceed the 5-gallon minimum requirement.
