No person may discharge garbage from a vessel located near a fixed or floating platform engaged in oil exploration at a distance of less than __________.
⢠Garbage discharge near offshore platforms under MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Part 151 ⢠Typical safety/exclusion zones around fixed and floating oil platforms (often stated in meters) ⢠Converting meters to feet to match multipleāchoice answers
⢠What minimum distance in meters does MARPOL/33 CFR set for discharging garbage near an offshore platform? ⢠Is that distance given in meters, nautical miles, or another unit in the regulation? ⢠Once you know the distance in meters, how do you convert it to feet, and which answer choice is closest to that value?
⢠Verify in current regulations the exact minimum distance (in meters) from fixed or floating platforms for garbage discharge (see 33 CFR Part 151 on garbage pollution from ships). ⢠Use the conversion 1 meter ā 3.28 feet and multiply to find the distance in feet before choosing an answer. ⢠Doubleācheck that the rule applies to all garbage types near platforms, not just plastics, so youāre using the right distance.
