Question 2304Deck General70% to pass
A vessel in ocean service that does not have an approved means of processing oily bilge slops or oily ballast must have _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) a fixed piping system for ballast discharge to a reception facility.
The reasoning for this is that vessels in ocean service that do not have an approved means of processing oily bilge slops or oily ballast must have a fixed piping system to discharge this waste to a reception facility on shore. This is a requirement under the MARPOL regulations to prevent the discharge of oily waste at sea. The other options, while potentially relevant for other vessel requirements, do not specifically address the need for a fixed piping system to a reception facility in the absence of an approved on-board oily waste processing system.
