Which of the following is NOT listed as an EO duty?

• A. Organize environmental drills
• B. Motivate the crew
• C. Write environmental reports
• D. Conduct ship repairs

Answer: (D)

Environmental Officer duties focus on environmental readiness, compliance, and leading the crew in best practices. Organizing environmental drills is essential for testing responses to incidents and training the crew. Motivating the crew supports a proactive safety culture and ongoing adherence to environmental standards. Writing environmental reports is a standard task to document incidents, audits, and performance, helping track progress and meet regulatory needs. Conducting ship repairs, on the other hand, is outside this role and belongs to engineering or maintenance crews whose focus is the physical repair of equipment and the vessel. So the activity not listed as an EO duty is conducting ship repairs.
