In accordance with federal regulations under 33CFR Subchapter O, for oceangoing ships of less than 400 gross tons, what is the required means for preventing pollution by oil as it pertains to handling bilge slops?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C.
The regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O for oceangoing ships less than 400 gross tons provide two options for preventing pollution by oil as it pertains to handling bilge slops:
1) The ship is required to retain onboard all oily mixtures either in the bilges or in a slops tank and be equipped to discharge these mixtures to a reception facility.
2) Alternatively, the ship can be equipped with an approved oily-water separator.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they either do not provide both options as per the regulations (A and B), or they incorrectly state that the ship must have a slops tank and discharge to a reception facility (D).
