Which vessel is required to have a shipboard oil pollution emergency plan?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) an oil tanker of 150 gross tons or above, or other ship of 400 gross tons or above.
This is correct because under MARPOL Annex I, oil tankers of 150 gross tons and above, and other ships of 400 gross tons and above, are required to have a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) on board. This plan outlines the actions to be taken in the event of an oil spill to minimize the damage. The other answer choices are incorrect as they either include all vessels regardless of size (B), specify different tonnage requirements (C), or address vessels that cannot carry oil (D).
