70% to pass

In the navigable waters of the United States, Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 is NOT applicable to a(n) _______________.

A uninspected towing vessel
B uninspected passenger vessel under 100 GT
C recreational yacht
D U.S. government vessel in non-commercial service
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) U.S. government vessel in non-commercial service. Annex V of MARPOL 73/78 regulates the prevention of pollution by garbage from ships. However, this annex does not apply to U.S. government vessels operating in non-commercial service, as stated in the annex. Therefore, answer D is the correct choice. The other answer choices are incorrect because uninspected towing vessels, uninspected passenger vessels under 100 GT, and recreational yachts are all subject to the requirements of Annex V, as they are not U.S. government vessels in non-commercial service.
