What would NOT require that a detailed report of the release of hazardous cargo be made to the Department of Transportation?

Correct Answer: Option B — Part of your deck cargo of five gallon cans of paint is damaged and leaking so you jettison them to eliminate the fire hazard.

Intentional operational jettisoning of leaking deck cargo to eliminate onboard hazards does not exempt the vessel from mandatory Department of Transportation release reporting rules, unlike minor incidental losses or operational residues explicitly excluded under specific thresholds.
