Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Ports and terminals must have Certificates of Adequacy.
Under MARPOL regulations, the Port State must ensure that port reception facilities are adequate. Masters must verify that the terminal possesses a valid Certificate of Adequacy (CoA) to ensure the legal and compliant disposal of ship-generated residues.
