Question 306General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passAs a management level engineering officer on a motor vessel equipped with engines capable of burning both high sulfur content residual fuels and low sulfur content distillate fuels, on approaching arrival to a US port, when would you plan for the fuel changeover to be accomplished?
AWhen entering the SOx emission control area set by local authorities.
BWhen entering US territorial boundaries 12 miles from the coastline.
CWhen entering the US economic exclusion zone 200 miles from the coastline.
DWhen entering US navigable waters 3 miles from the coastline.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) When entering the SOx emission control area set by local authorities. This is the correct answer because ships are required to change over to low-sulfur fuels when entering SOx emission control areas, as designated by local authorities, to comply with air pollution regulations. These areas are established to reduce sulfur oxide emissions and protect the environment. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific requirement to change fuel when entering SOx emission control areas, which is the relevant regulation for this scenario.
