Question 303Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A. The Pollution Prevention Regulations specify the location of "prohibited oil spaces" in 33 CFR 155.470(a). This regulation states that "No person may operate a vessel unless it is equipped with a system to prevent the discharge of oil from the bilges of the engine room, pump room, and prohibited spaces." Therefore, the Pollution Prevention Regulations explicitly define "prohibited oil spaces" as a location where oil discharge is prohibited. The other answer choices (B, C, and D) do not correctly identify where "prohibited oil spaces" are specified in the regulations.
