Which statement is TRUE when reviewing a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR 151.26 and MARPOL Annex I (Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan requirements) • Difference between reviewing a plan vs. resubmitting it for approval • Whether a SOPEP has an expiration date or just an approval date

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does a Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan normally have an expiration date that requires resubmittal, or is it kept continuously valid as long as it’s maintained and updated? • Think about annual review requirements: is the owner required to send something to the Coast Guard every year, or just document the review in the ship’s records? • Which options mention actions (letters, resubmittal, expiration) that you’ve actually seen in the regulations for SOPEPs, versus actions that look more like they belong to other types of plans (like vessel response plans)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the regulation whether there is an annual review requirement for the SOPEP and what must be done with the record of that review. • Check if the regulation mentions any letter or statement that must be submitted to the Coast Guard, or if it only needs to be kept on board. • Confirm whether the regulation mentions an expiration date and mandatory 5‑year resubmittal, or if the plan stays in force until amended or replaced.
