Which information is required on the NOI?

• A. Owner/Operator, Vessel Name, Likely discharges, Who is responsible for submission
• B. Crew list, Voyage plan, ETA, Port of destination
• C. Ship's last dry-docking date, Flag state, Engine type, Owner's address
• D. Insurance policy number, Cargo manifest, Last port visited, Master’s name

Answer: (A)

Information needed on an NOI focuses on identifying the vessel and operator, listing the likely discharges, and naming who is responsible for submitting. This set of details ensures regulators know exactly which vessel is involved, who is accountable, and what discharges might occur so proper oversight and follow-up can happen. The other types of information—like voyage plans, ETA, and port calls, or detailed ship specifications and records—aren’t central to notifying authorities about potential discharges. Together, the key items establish identity, scope of discharges, and responsibility, which is what the NOI is designed to capture.
