70% to pass

The requirement to carry an Oil Record Book does not apply to a MODU that _______________.

A is on an international voyage to a country that is a party to MARPOL
B has an International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate
C has an oily water separator of sufficient capacity for the oil wastes generated
D is not equipped to discharge overboard any oil or oily mixture
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) is not equipped to discharge overboard any oil or oily mixture. The requirement to carry an Oil Record Book applies to vessels that are equipped to discharge overboard any oil or oily mixture. If a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) is not equipped with this capability, then it is not required to maintain an Oil Record Book under MARPOL regulations. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not address the key factor of whether the MODU can discharge overboard. The Oil Record Book requirement is based on the vessel's discharge capabilities, not its international voyage status, pollution prevention certificate, or oily water separator capacity.
