In accordance with federal regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O, for U.S non- oceangoing ships, what is the required means for preventing pollution by oil as it pertains to handling bilge slops?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A.
The regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O require non-oceangoing ships to retain onboard all oily mixtures either in the bilges or in a slops tank, and they must be equipped to discharge these mixtures to a reception facility. This is to prevent the discharge of oily waste into the water, which could cause pollution.
The other options are incorrect because B and C do not accurately reflect the requirements for non-oceangoing ships, and D describes the requirements for oceangoing ships, not non-oceangoing ships.
