70% to pass

You are keeping the required garbage disposal records. The amount of garbage disposed must be stated in _______________.

A barrels of 55 gallon capacity
B both kilos and pounds
C cubic meters
D both cubic meters and cubic feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) cubic meters. The reason for this is that the regulations for garbage disposal records on US Coast Guard-inspected vessels require the amount of garbage to be stated in cubic meters. This is the standard unit of measurement specified in the MARPOL Annex V regulations, which govern the prevention of pollution from ships. The regulations do not allow for the use of barrels, pounds, or a combination of cubic meters and cubic feet for reporting garbage disposal. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirements for garbage disposal record-keeping on US Coast Guard-inspected vessels.
