🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL (Marine Pollution) Annex structure – each Annex deals with a different type of pollutant • The specific Annex that covers the management, storage, and discharge of garbage from ships • How oil, noxious liquid substances, and air pollution are handled in other MARPOL Annexes

💭 Think About

• First, recall how many MARPOL Annexes there are and which type of pollution each one addresses. • Match each answer choice (oil, garbage, noxious liquid substances, air pollutants) with its correct MARPOL Annex number. • Ask yourself: Which Annex sets rules about what solid waste a ship can or cannot throw overboard, and under what conditions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know that Annex I is associated with one specific pollutant and eliminate that choice from the others. • Confirm which Annex deals with air emissions from ships, and remove that option from consideration for this question. • Identify the Annex that regulates solid operational wastes (like food waste, plastics, packaging, etc.) – that’s the Annex referred to here.
