Fueling results in the collection of waste oil in drip pans and containers. Which is an approved method of disposing of the waste oil?

A Draining it overboard when the vessel gets underway
B Placing it in proper disposal facilities
C Adding sinking agents and discharging it into the water
D Mixing it with dispersants before draining it overboard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Placing it in proper disposal facilities. This is the correct answer because the proper method for disposing of waste oil collected during fueling operations is to place it in appropriate disposal facilities, such as those provided at marinas or other waste collection sites. Discharging waste oil overboard (options A and D) is not allowed, as it would violate environmental regulations. Similarly, adding sinking agents and discharging it into the water (option C) is also not an approved method and would be considered illegal pollution.
