Q

You discharge garbage overboard at sea. When recording your vessel's position as required, you must include __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V (Garbage) requirements for a Garbage Record Book entry • What "position of the ship" means in official log/record book language • How position is normally recorded in navigation records at sea

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When regulations say you must "record the vessel’s position," what specific information do they normally expect—do they want extra navigation data or just the basic position? • Look at which options add information that MARPOL does NOT specifically require as part of the position (depth, distance off shore, noon slip, course/speed). • Think about how position is routinely written in logbooks and passage plans—what format is standard worldwide?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what MARPOL Annex V requires to be logged for position of the ship during a garbage discharge (check an example Garbage Record Book page). • Check which answer choice includes ONLY the basic position information, without adding extra details that the regulation does not specifically list. • Confirm whether distance from shore or depth of water are ever stated as part of the required "position" entry in official records.
