Question 1 of 29218

Q

Which statement is TRUE concerning the placard entitled "Discharge of Oil Prohibited"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR 155.450 – Requirements for the "Discharge of Oil Prohibited" placard • Where oil is most likely to be pumped or discharged on a vessel (think machinery spaces and bilge/ballast pump controls) • Which vessels are actually required to carry this placard (pay attention to vessel length and type, not just "all vessels")

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Where would crew members who operate pumps and machinery most need to see an oil-discharge warning? In the wheelhouse, or closer to pumping operations? • Think about whether very small boats must carry this placard, or whether the rule starts at a certain minimum length. • Compare each answer choice against the regulation: does the rule mention the wheelhouse specifically, the machinery spaces/pump stations, or all vessels with no size limit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR 155.450 exactly where the placard must be posted (look for "machinery space" and "bilge and ballast pump control station"). • Confirm whether the regulation says "all vessels" or specifies vessels 26 feet or more in length (or another minimum size). • Check that the correct option matches the exact placement and applicability described in the regulation, not just what "sounds reasonable."
