Your oceangoing vessel has medical waste to be disposed of ashore. How many hours advance notice must you give the port or terminal?

A 6
B 12
C 24
D 48
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 24 hours. According to the regulations governing the disposal of medical waste from vessels, operators must provide at least 24 hours advance notice to the port or terminal before offloading any medical waste. This requirement ensures that the receiving facility is prepared to handle the waste properly and in compliance with environmental regulations. The other answer choices are incorrect because 6 hours (A) is too short of a notice period, and 12 (B) and 48 (D) hours are not the correct time frame specified in the regulations.
