Question 2461Deck General70% to pass
No person on board any vessel to which Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 applies may discharge garbage of any type when _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) in the navigable waters of the United States.
Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) prohibits the discharge of any type of garbage within the navigable waters of the United States, regardless of the distance from land. This means that no person on board any vessel to which Annex V applies may discharge garbage of any type when in the navigable waters of the United States.
The other options are incorrect because they refer to specific distance limits from land, which do not apply within the navigable waters of the United States where the discharge of any garbage is prohibited under Annex V.
