🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• Ask which unit would make it easiest to compare garbage quantities between ships of different flag states and sizes under a single international standard. • Consider whether inspectors and port states would rather see an easily visualized volume or an exact mass when checking compliance. • Think about which of the listed units is most commonly used in international marine conventions and ship design documents for tank and space capacity.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what unit of measurement is specified for garbage entries in the Garbage Record Book under MARPOL Annex V. • Check whether MARPOL or SOLAS generally use metric or imperial units as the primary standard. • Confirm that the unit you choose is a single, consistent measure (not a convert-to or dual-option requirement) in the regulation.
