Question 3007 Deck General

The correct answer is D) calling at ports in another country signatory to MARPOL 73/78. The IOPP (International Oil Pollution Prevention) certificate is required for ships that are engaged in international voyages and are calling at ports in countries that are signatories to the MARPOL 73/78 convention. This certificate demonstrates the ship's compliance with the oil pollution prevention regulations outlined in MARPOL. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because the IOPP certificate requirement is not solely based on the ship's voyage type (foreign or coastwise trade) or the specific cargoes carried. The key factor is that the ship is calling at ports in countries that are party to the MARPOL 73/78 convention.
