Which item is NOT listed as a job requirement for the EO?

• A. Understand the ship's systems
• B. Motivate the crew
• C. Conduct cargo operations
• D. Organize environmental drills

Answer: (C)

An Environmental Officer focuses on protecting the marine environment and ensuring pollution-prevention compliance. Understanding the ship’s systems helps the EO spot how operations might impact the environment. Motivating the crew supports consistent, environmentally responsible behavior and adherence to procedures. Organizing environmental drills is essential for testing readiness and improving response to spills or other environmental incidents. Conducting cargo operations, however, falls under cargo handling and ship operation duties rather than environmental protection. It isn’t a typical EO job requirement, which is why this item is the one that does not fit.
