Strict adherence to specific discharge rates

Prohibition in all territorial waters

The discharge of Category X residues must occur at:

In shore reception facilities after prewash

In compliance with Annex III standards

Category Y discharges are prohibited if:

The ship is not carrying passengers

The discharge depth is below 20 meters

Under MARPOL Annex II, Category X substances must be handled carefully because:

They pose a significant hazard to the marine environment

They are more reactive than Category Y substances

They are less hazardous than Category Z substances

They can be discharged without prewashing

Discharge of Category Z substances is allowed if:

The mixture is thoroughly diluted and not above permitted levels

The distance from land is less than 12 nautical miles

In which scenario is the discharge of ballast water containing Category X substances permitted?

After prewash and only to shore reception facilities

If the ballast water is diluted with fresh water

After washing the tank with seawater

According to MARPOL Annex II, the role of the Procedures and Arrangements Manual is to:

Identify operational procedures to ensure compliance

Outline the financial penalties for non-compliance

The requirement for prewash procedures for Category X substances aims to:

Minimize tank residues before discharge

Ensure a faster discharge process

Allow discharge without dilution

Reduce the need for reception facilities

What is the consequence of non-compliance with discharge standards for Category X substances?

Discharge is prohibited and residues sent to shore facilities

Discharge is allowed but must be reported

The ship will be subject to fines

The discharge is delayed until diluted

Which of the following correctly states the discharge criteria for Category Y?

No discharge within 12 nautical miles of land or in depths less than 25 meters

After being mixed with ballast water

The special restrictions in the Antarctic area under Annex II primarily concern:

All discharge of noxious liquid substances

MARPOL Annex II ensures the protection of the marine environment by:
