Question 124Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) letter. In the Oil Record Book, each operational section is codified by a letter. This is in accordance with the MARPOL Annex I regulations, which provide a standardized format for recording oil-related operations on board ships. The letters are used to identify the different operational sections, such as "A" for Ballasting or Cleaning Cargo Tanks, "B" for Discharge of Dirty Ballast or Cleaning Water from Cargo Tanks, and so on. This letter-based coding system ensures a consistent and structured record-keeping process for the ship's oil-related activities. The other options, B) abbreviation, C) number, and D) all of the above, are incorrect because the Oil Record Book specifically uses letters to codify the operational sections, not abbreviations or numbers.
