In accordance with international MARPOL Annex I regulations and federal regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O, for oceangoing ships of 10,000 gross tons and above, what is the required means for preventing pollution by oil as it pertains to handling bilge slops?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D.
According to MARPOL Annex I regulations and 33 CFR Subchapter O, oceangoing ships of 10,000 gross tons and above are required to be equipped with an approved 15 parts per million oily-water separator, as well as a high oil-content bilge alarm and a means to automatically stop the oily-water discharge when the oil content exceeds 15 ppm. This comprehensive set of pollution prevention measures is the regulatory requirement for these large oceangoing vessels.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they either do not require both the oily-water separator and the high oil-content alarm/automatic discharge stop (A and C), or they only require retention and discharge to a reception facility without the necessary onboard treatment equipment (B).
