Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — You must keep a record of garbage discharged in port to a shore facility.
MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR 151.55 require that every discharge of garbage, including delivery to a shore reception facility, be recorded in the Garbage Record Book. This documentation provides a verifiable audit trail for compliance with international and domestic waste management standards, ensuring all ship-generated waste is accounted for properly.
