Question 626General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passIn accordance with the international MARPOL Annex VI regulations, which of the listed substances are prohibited from being burned in a shipboard incinerator?
ARefined petroleum products containing detergent additives.
BGarbage containing trace amounts of heavy metals.
COil residue and sewage waste sludges.
DRefined petroleum products containing halogen compounds.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Refined petroleum products containing halogen compounds. The MARPOL Annex VI regulations prohibit the incineration of refined petroleum products containing halogen compounds, as they can release toxic and environmentally harmful substances when burned. Options A, B, and C do not specifically mention halogen-containing compounds, and while these substances may have restrictions on incineration, they are not outright prohibited under MARPOL Annex VI. The other options, while potentially restricted, do not violate the specific MARPOL Annex VI regulations on prohibited substances for shipboard incineration.
