DThe non-oceangoing ship is required to be equipped with an approved 15 parts per million oily-water separator, AND it is required to have a high oil-content bilge alarm and a means to automatically stop the oily-water discharge when the oil content exceeds 15 ppm.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A. The regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O require non-oceangoing ships to retain onboard all oily mixtures either in the bilges or in a slops tank, and they must be equipped to discharge these mixtures to a reception facility. This is to prevent the discharge of oily waste into the water, which could cause pollution. The other options are incorrect because B and C do not accurately reflect the requirements for non-oceangoing ships, and D describes the requirements for oceangoing ships, not non-oceangoing ships.
