🔍 Key Concepts

• Type III Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) requirements in 33 CFR Part 159 • What it means to "secure to prevent discharge" in a no-discharge zone (NDZ) • The difference between a positive mechanical lock and a method that can be easily or accidentally released

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: Would this method keep the valve from being opened quickly or accidentally while in a no-discharge zone? • Consider which methods create a clear physical barrier versus something that might be easily defeated or removed. • Think about what the Coast Guard would consider a reliable, tamper-resistant securing method rather than a temporary hold.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options use a lock or removal of operating gear (like a valve handle) so the valve cannot be easily turned. • Check if any option uses a method that can be released without tools or special effort, making it less secure. • Confirm your choice against the idea that the MSD must be secured so discharge is not reasonably possible while in prohibited waters.
