🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 151 – Vessel pollution control and MARPOL requirements for oil pollution prevention • Difference between overboard discharge and transfer to a reception facility • Who actually has the authority to allow/disallow oily bilge slops discharge in port

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In U.S. ports, is it ever acceptable under 33 CFR to pump oily bilge slops directly into the water, even with local permission? • Think about what normally happens to oily mixtures when a ship is alongside in port—where are they usually sent? • Which of the choices describes a condition that would actually prevent pollution, instead of just documenting or inspecting it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR Part 151, Subpart A what is said about discharging oily mixtures in special areas and in port/harbor limits • Check which option involves a physical means of preventing oil from going into the water rather than just an approval or a signature • Confirm that oily bilge slops must be handled in a way that complies with both U.S. regulations and MARPOL requirements for reception of oil residues
