Q

U.S. regulations require all tankships of 150 GT and above and all other ships of 400 GT and above, to prepare and maintain which of the following?

🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL and its U.S. implementation in 33 CFR and 46 CFR • The difference between a general "discharge plan" and a formal emergency plan • Which shipboard plans are required specifically for oil pollution incidents vs other types of discharges

💭 Think About

• Which option sounds like a comprehensive response document that covers who does what, when, and how in case of a spill? • Look at the GT thresholds given (150 GT tankships, 400 GT other ships). For which specific plan do these tonnages match the regulatory trigger? • Ask yourself: is the regulation aimed at routine operations, or at what to do in an accidental pollution event?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR and 46 CFR which tonnage thresholds apply to oil pollution planning requirements • Check which option includes the word suggesting response to emergencies, not just routine discharges • Confirm that the required plan aligns with oil pollution from ships, not vapors or plastics specifically
