70% to pass

Under the regulations implementing MARPOL, a mobile offshore drilling unit is required to have an International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate when the unit _______________.

A moves to a new drilling location in U.S. waters
B is drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf
C engages in a voyage to a port of another country which is a party of MARPOL
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) engages in a voyage to a port of another country which is a party of MARPOL. Under MARPOL regulations, a mobile offshore drilling unit is required to have an International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate when it engages in a voyage to a port of another country that is a party to MARPOL. This is because the IOPP Certificate demonstrates the unit's compliance with MARPOL's oil pollution prevention requirements, which apply to vessels visiting foreign ports. Options A and B do not trigger the IOPP Certificate requirement, as they deal with operations within U.S. waters or on the Outer Continental Shelf, not international voyages.
