Question 2344 Deck General

The correct answer is C) It must be located at the bilge and ballast pump control station. The regulation that requires the placard "Discharge of Oil Prohibited" to be located at the bilge and ballast pump control station is found in 33 CFR 155.450. This regulation states that the placard must be "posted in a conspicuous place in the machinery spaces or at the bilge and ballast pump control station." The other answer choices are incorrect because A) the placard is not required on all vessels, only on certain types specified in the regulations, and B) the regulation does not require it to be located in the wheelhouse specifically. Option D) is incorrect because not all of the statements are true.
