Question 2563 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Dunnage. According to Annex V of MARPOL 73/78, the discharge of dunnage (loose wood, paper, and other packing materials) is prohibited when a vessel is within 25 nautical miles of the nearest land. Since the vessel in the question is 24 nautical miles from the nearest land, the discharge of dunnage is prohibited. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because metal, crockery, and glass are not prohibited from being discharged when the vessel is 24 nautical miles from land under Annex V of MARPOL 73/78.
