An ocean going ship of 6000 gross tons or above must be fitted with a standard discharge shore connection with dimensions outlined in Pollution Prevention Regulations (33 CFR) or be substituted with a __________.
• 33 CFR pollution prevention regulations for ships 400 GT and above and 6000 GT and above • Purpose and design of a standard discharge shore connection for oily/waste residues • When a portable or alternative connection is permitted if the standard flange isn’t permanently installed
• Look at which answer choice clearly preserves the same dimensions and compatibility as the standard discharge shore connection required in 33 CFR • Ask yourself: which option would allow the ship to still connect safely and universally to shore reception facilities worldwide? • Consider whether the regulation is focused on the bolt pattern/pressure rating or on meeting the full specification of the standard connection
• Verify which option directly refers to meeting the same specification as the standard discharge shore connection in 33 CFR • Check if any option is too vague (e.g., just saying “suitable” without tying back to the regulation’s detailed specs) • Eliminate choices that mention features (like bolt pattern or pressure) but do not guarantee full compliance with the regulatory dimensions and standards
