Question 2604 Deck General

The correct answer is A) A fixed system to discharge oily mixtures to a reception facility. Inland vessels of 100 GT and over are required to be fitted with a fixed system to discharge oily mixtures to a reception facility, as per the oil pollution prevention regulations under Annex I of MARPOL. This fixed system ensures that oily mixtures are properly disposed of at reception facilities, rather than being discharged directly overboard, which could cause environmental harm. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirements. Inland vessels are not permitted to discharge oily mixtures overboard, either through a fixed or portable system. They must be equipped with a fixed system to offload these mixtures to an appropriate reception facility.
