Under the international MARPOL regulations under Annex IV, if the ship is more than 3, but less than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, what statement is true?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The discharge of comminuted and disinfected sewage is permitted.
Under MARPOL Annex IV, if a ship is more than 3 but less than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land, the discharge of comminuted and disinfected sewage is permitted. This is because the sewage has been sufficiently treated to meet the required standards before being discharged, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
The other options are incorrect because B) and C) are not consistent with the MARPOL Annex IV regulations for this distance from land, and D) is too restrictive, as comminuted and disinfected sewage is allowed to be discharged in this scenario.
