Question 119Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) 33 CFR 155.370. This regulation, 33 CFR 155.370, sets forth the requirements for the isolation of oil and bilge systems on oceangoing ships, including the need for proper tank arrangements and piping systems to prevent the accidental discharge of oil. Specifically, this section outlines the standards that must be met for the isolation of oil residue (sludge) and oily bilge water tanks on new vessels over 400 gross tons. The other answer choices are incorrect. Option A, 33 CFR 151.23, covers the requirements for the reception facilities for oily wastes, not the specific tank design and isolation standards. Options B and D do not refer to any specific regulations and are therefore incorrect.
