Under MARPOL regulations, a mobile offshore drilling unit is required to have an International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate when it engages in a voyage to a port of another country that is a party to MARPOL. This is because the IOPP Certificate demonstrates the unit's compliance with MARPOL's oil pollution prevention requirements, which apply to vessels visiting foreign ports.
