Question 2420Deck 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 reason this is correct is that under MARPOL Annex V regulations, which apply to vessels operating under a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License, vessel operators are required to maintain a Garbage Record Book to document all garbage discharges, including discharges to shore-side reception facilities in port. Keeping this record is a legal requirement.
The other options are incorrect because: B) is false, as there is a requirement to record all garbage discharges, not just those beyond 25 miles offshore. C) is false, as the regulation requires recording the approximate volume or weight of the garbage, not just the weight. D) is false, as the record must include all garbage discharges, including incineration on board.
