Question 354Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

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 Order. This order can require the vessel to take corrective action or be removed from the terminal until the violation is resolved. The Coast Guard has the authority to enforce compliance with pollution prevention regulations under their port safety and security responsibilities. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the Coast Guard's authority in this situation. The Coast Guard cannot simply fine the vessel (A), detain the crew (B), or prohibit the vessel from entering U.S. waters (D) - the appropriate action is to issue a Captain of the Port Order to address the pollution prevention violation.
