70% to passWhat is the MINIMUM distance a vessel subject to the requirements of Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 must be located from nearest land to legally discharge paper trash?
A
5 nautical miles
B
10 nautical miles
C
12 nautical miles
D
25 nautical miles
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 12 nautical miles. Vessels subject to the requirements of Annex V to MARPOL 73/78 must be located at least 12 nautical miles from the nearest land to legally discharge paper trash. This requirement is specified in Regulation 3 of Annex V, which prohibits the discharge of all garbage, including paper, within 12 nautical miles of the nearest land. The other options are incorrect because 5 nautical miles (A) is too close to land, 10 nautical miles (B) is also too close, and 25 nautical miles (D) is more restrictive than the actual regulation.
