Question 2229Deck General70% to pass
Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) You must keep a record of garbage discharged in port to a shore facility.
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) requires ships to maintain a Garbage Record Book to document all garbage discharges, including those offloaded to shore facilities. This is necessary to ensure proper disposal and prevent illegal dumping at sea.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect because MARPOL regulations mandate recording all garbage discharges, regardless of the method (e.g., weight, offshore dumping, incineration). Failure to maintain this record can result in penalties for the vessel and crew.
