Question 2381Deck General70% to pass
How is the Master or operator of a vessel required to keep the crew informed of the regulations concerning the discharging of garbage overboard?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Keep placards prominently posted.
This is the correct answer because the regulations require the master or operator of a vessel to ensure that placards are displayed on board the vessel that notify the crew of the applicable garbage discharge regulations under Annex V of MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships). Posting these placards prominently ensures that the crew is informed of the relevant regulations, without requiring the master to individually distribute copies or have crew members sign a document.
The other options, while potentially useful, are not the specific regulatory requirement for informing the crew about garbage discharge regulations.
