The international shore connection _______________.

A allows emergency use of the fire main for deballasting
B allows hook up of fire fighting water from shore facilities
C satisfies pollution prevention requirements
D permits discharge of waste oil to shore facilities
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) allows hook up of fire fighting water from shore facilities. The international shore connection is a standard-sized flange that allows a ship to connect its fire main to a shore-based fire hydrant or other water source. This allows the ship to access a reliable source of fire-fighting water from the shore in an emergency, which is crucial for vessel safety. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the purpose of the international shore connection.
