Question 2610 Deck General

The correct answer is B) at least one outlet accessible from the weather deck. According to the regulations, a non-oceangoing ship greater than 100 gross tons must have a fixed piping system to discharge oily mixtures ashore, and this system must include at least one outlet accessible from the weather deck. This allows the crew to easily connect the discharge hose to the shore facility for proper disposal of the oily mixture. The other options are incorrect because: A) approved oil-water separating equipment is not required for the fixed piping system itself, but may be necessary for the overall oily water management system; C) a spare pump is not a requirement for the fixed piping system; and D) a fixed or portable containment system at the shore connection is not a mandatory component of the fixed piping system.
