Question 1 of 27070

Q

According to Pollution Prevention Regulations (33 CFR), when may a person serve as the person-in-charge of both a vessel and a facility during oil transfer operations?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR oil transfer person-in-charge (PIC) requirements for vessels and facilities • Restrictions on simultaneously serving as PIC for both sides of a transfer • How the CFR treats unmanned facilities vs. manned facilities

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself in which situation one person could realistically monitor both the vessel side and the facility side without compromising safety. • Consider which option sounds like it comes from specific regulatory wording, not just general authority or convenience. • Think about whether the Captain of the Port typically overrides manning rules broadly, or whether the CFR already spells out the allowable exception.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 33 CFR Parts 154 and 155 for exact language about a PIC serving for both vessel and facility. • Verify whether the regulation mentions an exception related to a manned vs. unmanned facility. • Confirm that the regulation does not base this exception on manpower shortages or a special license title.
