Question 1Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passThe amount of garbage disposed must be entered into the records maintained by each ship and stated in _______________.
Acubic yards convertible to long tons
Bcubic meters
Cweight in either kilogram or pounds
Dbarrels, measured in 55 gallon drums
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) cubic meters. The reason for this is that the regulations for the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations require that the amount of garbage disposed from a ship must be recorded in cubic meters. This is the standard unit of measurement for tracking and reporting garbage disposal from vessels, as it provides a consistent and quantifiable way to document the volume of waste generated and discharged. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirements. Cubic yards, weight in pounds or kilograms, and barrel measurements are not the specified units for garbage disposal reporting on US Coast Guard-licensed vessels.
