70% to pass

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

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

The correct answer is C) U.S. Coast Guard. The IOPP Certificate required by MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) is issued to U.S. flag Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) by the U.S. Coast Guard. This is because the U.S. Coast Guard is the authority responsible for implementing and enforcing MARPOL regulations for U.S. flag vessels, including MODUs. The other options are incorrect because the Environmental Protection Agency does not issue IOPP Certificates, the International Maritime Organization develops the MARPOL convention but does not directly issue certificates, and the American Bureau of Shipping, while an important classification society, does not have the authority to issue the IOPP Certificate for U.S. flag vessels.
