Question 2910 Deck General

70% to pass

After each operation involving the transfer of oil or oily mixture, an entry shall be recorded in the Oil Record Book _______________.

A within 1 hour of completion of the inspection
B as the operation permits
C within 6 hours of completion of the operation
D without delay
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) without delay. The reason for this is that the regulations governing the Oil Record Book, as outlined in Annex I of the MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) convention, require that entries in the Oil Record Book be made without delay after each operation involving the transfer of oil or oily mixture. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the MARPOL requirement. Entries must be made without delay, not within 1 hour, as the operation permits, or within 6 hours, as those would not be considered "without delay" as per the regulations.
