Question 2991Deck General70% to pass
You are on a 30,000 DWT tankship engaged in trade to another country signatory to MARPOL 73/78. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) The IOPP Certificate is valid for 5 years.
This is correct because under MARPOL 73/78, the International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate is issued to ships and is valid for a period not exceeding 5 years. The certificate verifies that the ship complies with the applicable requirements of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 regarding the prevention of oil pollution.
The other options are incorrect - A) is incorrect because the Certificate of Inspection is not sufficient evidence of MARPOL compliance, B) is incorrect because the IOPP Certificate remains valid even if the ship carries cargoes outside the authorized classes, and D) is incorrect because the IOPP Certificate is not renewed at each inspection but rather is valid for 5 years.
