A vessel to which Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 applies is located in a MARPOL designated special area, 14 nautical miles from nearest land. What type of garbage is permitted to be discharged?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Food waste.
According to Annex V of MARPOL 73/78, the discharge of food waste is permitted in MARPOL designated special areas, provided the vessel is located at least 12 nautical miles from the nearest land. Since the vessel in the question is located 14 nautical miles from the nearest land, the discharge of food waste is allowed. The other options, such as glass, metal, and paper products, are not permitted to be discharged in a MARPOL special area, as they are considered to be non-biodegradable and can harm the marine environment.
