Question 607General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn accordance with international MARPOL Annex V regulations and federal regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O, the prohibition of the discharge of dunnage, lining, and packing materials that float applies to a vessel operating within how many nautical miles of the nearest land?
A3 nautical miles
B12 nautical miles
C25 nautical miles
D200 nautical miles
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 25 nautical miles. According to MARPOL Annex V regulations and 33 CFR Subchapter O, the prohibition on discharging dunnage, lining, and packing materials that float applies to vessels operating within 25 nautical miles of the nearest land. This is because these materials are considered "garbage" under the regulations, and MARPOL Annex V prohibits the discharge of garbage, including floating materials, within 25 nautical miles of the nearest land. The other answer choices are incorrect because 3 nautical miles is the territorial sea limit, not the Annex V garbage discharge limit, and 12 and 200 nautical miles are not the relevant distances specified in the regulations.
