The International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) Certificate required by MARPOL is issued to U.S. flag MODUs by the _______________.

A Environmental Protection Agency
B American Bureau of Shipping
C U.S. Coast Guard
D International Maritime Organization
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) U.S. Coast Guard. The IOPP Certificate is required by MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) for vessels to demonstrate compliance with international oil pollution prevention regulations. For U.S. flag Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs), the U.S. Coast Guard is the authority responsible for issuing this certificate, as they have jurisdiction over the enforcement of MARPOL requirements for U.S. vessels. The other options are incorrect because the Environmental Protection Agency does not have authority over the IOPP Certificate, the American Bureau of Shipping is a classification society (not the issuing authority), and the International Maritime Organization develops the MARPOL regulations but does not directly issue the IOPP Certificates to individual vessels.
