Multiple Choice

Who does Annex IV apply to?

Explanation:
Annex IV sets the rules for pollution from sewage on ships, and it specifically applies to ships of 400 gross tonnage and above. That size threshold is why larger vessels such as cruise ships, cargo ships, and other substantial ships must comply with the sewage discharge standards, use approved arrangements or treatment systems, and follow the at-sea discharge limits or port reception rules. Smaller ships under 400 GT aren’t required to meet the main Annex IV standards, though they must still follow applicable national or port regulations. So the correct choice reflects the regulatory scope based on ship size: ships over 400 gross tonnes.
