Question 301Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is C. If a vessel moored at a U.S. terminal does not comply with Coast Guard Pollution Prevention Regulations, the Coast Guard can issue a Captain of the Port (COTP) Order. This COTP Order allows the Coast Guard to require the vessel to take immediate action to correct the pollution prevention violations. Failure to comply with a COTP Order can result in civil and/or criminal penalties. The other answer choices (A, B, and D) do not accurately describe the Coast Guard's enforcement actions for vessels that violate pollution prevention regulations while moored at a U.S. terminal.
