In accordance with federal regulations under 33CFR 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 federal regulations under 33 CFR Subchapter O for non-oceangoing ships require that all oily mixtures, either in the bilges or in a slops tank, must be retained onboard the ship. The ship must also be equipped with the capability to discharge these oily mixtures to a reception facility, as opposed to directly discharging them into the water.
The other options are incorrect because they either describe requirements for oceangoing ships (option B) or do not accurately reflect the regulations for non-oceangoing ships (options C and D).
