🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Subchapter O requirements for a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) appendixes • The difference between contact lists (external agencies/officials) and internal shipboard organization • What types of information are typically in annexes/appendixes versus in the main body of a plan

💭 Think About

• Look at which choices focus on outside authorities versus internal shipboard structure—how are appendixes usually organized in emergency plans? • Ask yourself: which item would most logically belong in the operational/organizational section of the SOPEP rather than being listed as an appendix? • Consider what information must be readily available to coastal states and ports when pollution occurs, and where that information is usually placed.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 33 CFR Subchapter O language on minimum required contents of the appendixes to a SOPEP. • Verify which lists are specifically described as contact lists for authorities and ports. • Confirm whether duty assignments/notification responsibilities are called out as part of the plan text itself or as a separate appendix.
