According to the Coast Guard Pollution Prevention Regulations (33 CFR), a 299 gross ton uninspected motor towing vessel, not equipped with an oily water separator, is required to have how many outlets accessible from the weather deck to discharge oily bilge slops?
• 33 CFR pollution prevention requirements for uninspected towing vessels under 300 gross tons • Purpose of separate bilge slop discharge outlets reachable from the weather deck • Difference between a vessel with and without an oily water separator (OWS)
• Check what 33 CFR says specifically for uninspected towing vessels about bilge discharge arrangements when no oily water separator is installed. • Think about why the regulations might want more than one deck-accessible discharge point, or whether a single point would be considered adequate for safety and pollution control. • Compare the typical arrangement on small towing vessels: are outlets usually symmetrical (port/starboard), fore/aft, or just a single riser?
• Verify in 33 CFR whether the rule mentions a specific minimum number of discharge outlets for oily bilge slops on towing vessels without OWS. • Confirm whether the regulation specifies port and starboard or fore and aft locations, or simply a total number of required outlets without location details. • Be sure you are reading the section that applies to uninspected motor towing vessels of about 300 gross tons and not to larger inspected vessels or other vessel types.
