70% to passProviding you are not in a special area, such as the Mediterranean or Red Sea, how many nautical miles from land must you be to throw wooden dunnage into the sea?
A
6 nm
B
12 nm
C
3 nm
D
25 nm
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 25 nm. According to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), the general requirement for disposing of garbage at sea is that it must be done at least 25 nautical miles from the nearest land. This applies to the disposal of dunnage, which is considered a type of garbage under MARPOL. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the 25 nm requirement for disposing of wooden dunnage in open waters, outside of special areas.
