🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 151 – Vessels Carrying Oil, Noxious Liquid Substances, Garbage, Municipal or Commercial Waste, and Ballast Water • Relationship between garbage discharge requirements and required placards on board • Difference between equipment/installation regulations and operational/placarding requirements

💭 Think About

• Which of these Parts deals specifically with garbage from ships rather than oil, sewage devices, or construction/structural requirements? • Ask yourself: is the placard about how to operate equipment, or about crew guidance on what can/cannot be discharged? Which Part is most likely to contain that? • Look at the Part numbers: which one is commonly associated with MARPOL Annex V (garbage) implementation in U.S. regulations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which CFR Part is titled or clearly associated with Garbage under environmental protection for vessels • Eliminate any Parts that are clearly focused on sewage systems, tanker design, or pollution prevention equipment, not on placards • Verify that the chosen provision actually mentions posting a placard with garbage discharge information on the vessel
