The Notice of Intent describes which of the following?

• A. The ballast water plan
• B. The vessel's likely discharges
• C. The voyage plan
• D. The crew roster

Answer: (B)

A Notice of Intent is a regulatory filing used to inform authorities about what discharges a vessel is likely to produce so that permits and monitoring can be arranged. It focuses on the types and potential amounts of discharges that may enter the environment, which helps regulators determine which permits apply and what controls or monitoring might be required. It isn’t a ballast water management plan, a navigation or voyage plan, or a crew roster—the NOI’s purpose is to communicate the vessel’s likely discharges to support permitting.
