What must ocean going vessels of 100 GT to 400 GT be fitted with for oily mixtures?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A fixed system to discharge oily mixtures to a reception facility.
Vessels of 100 GT to 400 GT are required to be fitted with a fixed system to discharge oily mixtures to a reception facility, as per the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex I regulations. This fixed system ensures that oily mixtures, such as bilge water or tank washings, are properly discharged and disposed of at a reception facility, rather than being discharged directly overboard.
The other options are incorrect because A) a fixed system to discharge slops overboard is not permitted, B) a portable system is not required, and C) discharging slops overboard is not allowed for vessels in this tonnage range.
