When looking for IMO regulations on a vessel's oil water separator, the information will be found in which of the following documents?

ASOLAS
BISM manuals
CMARPOL
DCFRs
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) MARPOL. The information on oil water separators and related regulations would be found in MARPOL (the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), specifically in Annex I which deals with the prevention of oil pollution. MARPOL is the primary international agreement that regulates the discharge of oil and oily mixtures from ships. It contains the technical specifications and requirements for oil water separators and related equipment. The other options are incorrect because: A) SOLAS (the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) does not directly address oil water separators, B) ISM manuals (the International Safety Management Code) provide guidelines for shipboard oil pollution emergency plans but not the technical specifications, and D) CFRs (the Code of Federal Regulations) are the US domestic regulations, while the question is asking about international IMO regulations.
