MARPOL Annex II covers which category?

MARPOL Annex II covers which category?

• A. Oil
• B. Garbage
• C. Air Pollution
• D. Noxious liquid substances

Answer: (D)

MARPOL Annex II focuses on noxious liquid substances carried in bulk. It sets the rules for how chemical cargoes that are harmful to the marine environment are handled, including classification, discharge restrictions, tank cleaning procedures, and the documentation ships must carry. This makes noxious liquid substances the category Annex II regulates directly. Oil pollution is covered by Annex I, garbage by Annex V, and air pollution by Annex VI, so those categories fall under different parts of MARPOL. In practice, ships carrying chemical cargoes in bulk must follow Annex II rules to prevent pollution from discharges and tank cleaning, and keep appropriate cargo information records.
