An oceangoing ship of 6000 gross tons or above must be fitted with a standard discharge shore connection with dimensions outlined in Pollution Prevention Regulations

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B. The Pollution Prevention Regulations require oceangoing ships of 6000 gross tons or above to be fitted with a standard discharge shore connection with dimensions outlined in option B. This standard connection allows the ship to discharge oily waste and bilge water to shore-based reception facilities, preventing illegal discharges at sea. The other options do not specify the correct dimensions for this standard discharge shore connection as outlined in the regulations.
