The pollution prevention regulations in MARPOL apply to U. S. flag vessels _______________.

A only on the western rivers and international waters
B on all international and inland waters
C only on international voyages outside U.S. territorial waters
D only on the Great Lakes and international waters
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) on all international and inland waters. The pollution prevention regulations in MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) apply to all U.S. flag vessels, regardless of their operating area. This includes both international and inland waters, such as rivers, lakes, and coastal regions. The MARPOL regulations provide a comprehensive set of rules and standards to prevent pollution from ships, and these apply to U.S. vessels in all navigable waters, not just on international voyages or in specific regions. The other options are incorrect because they either limit the MARPOL regulations to specific waterways (A, D) or only to international voyages (C), which is not accurate.
