Container vessels are required to maintain an Oil Record Book when the vessel is?

A 150 gross tons and above
B 200 gross tons and above
C 300 gross tons above
D 400 gross tons and above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 400 gross tons and above. The requirement for container vessels to maintain an Oil Record Book is outlined in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), to which the United States is a signatory. Under MARPOL Annex I, all ships of 400 gross tons and above are required to maintain an Oil Record Book, which records operations related to the handling of oil and oily mixtures. The other options are incorrect because they specify lower gross tonnage thresholds that do not align with the MARPOL requirement for container vessels to maintain an Oil Record Book.
