A MODU which is required to carry an Oil Record Book must log in the book _______________.

A discharge of ballast or cleaning water from fuel tanks
B the grade and specific gravity of all fuel oil carried
C sounding levels of all fuel tanks on a daily basis
D fuel consumption rates on a weekly basis
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) discharge of ballast or cleaning water from fuel tanks. The Oil Record Book is required to log any discharge of ballast or cleaning water from fuel tanks, as per the MARPOL regulations. This is because such discharges may contain oil or oil residues, which must be documented. The other options are not directly related to the requirements of the Oil Record Book, which is focused on logging oil-related operations and discharges, not general fuel management or consumption.
