Question 2427Deck General70% to pass
You intend to discharge medical or hazardous wastes ashore. MARPOL Annex V requires you to notify a receiving port or terminal in advance. How much advance notice is required?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 24 hours.
MARPOL Annex V, which regulates the prevention of pollution by garbage from ships, requires vessels to notify the receiving port or terminal at least 24 hours in advance before discharging any medical or hazardous wastes ashore. This advance notification is necessary to ensure the port or terminal is prepared to properly receive and handle the waste.
The other options are incorrect because 12 hours (B) and 48 hours (C) do not align with the 24-hour advance notice requirement, and option D states that no advance notification is required, which contradicts the MARPOL Annex V regulation.
