🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V garbage (food waste) discharge rules • Special distance requirements for fixed or floating platforms engaged in exploration or exploitation of seabed mineral resources • Difference between general ship food-waste rules and stricter rules for offshore installations

💭 Think About

• First recall the usual minimum distance from land for a ship to discharge comminuted or ground food waste. Then ask yourself: are platforms allowed the same, or are they more restricted? • Think about why regulators might require a greater distance from land for stationary offshore platforms compared with moving ships. • Compare each distance option with the idea of keeping coastal waters and sensitive areas cleaner— which distances sound more like ‘coastal protection’ distances rather than ‘open ocean’ distances?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what MARPOL Annex V says specifically about platforms ‘located more than X nm from the nearest land’. • Confirm that the rule for offshore platforms is not the same as the basic ship rule for food waste near land. • Check which of the answer choices matches the minimum distance from the nearest land stated for platforms in the official text.
