🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR regulations on cargo hose condition during oil transfer operations • Requirements for hose integrity versus temporary repairs (wrapping, taping, etc.) • Pollution prevention standards for oil transfer hoses

💭 Think About

• Think about whether regulations allow any kind of temporary repair on a leaking cargo hose during oil transfer operations. • Consider what the primary concern is when a hose shows any leak while handling oil—what are the environmental and safety risks? • Ask yourself: do the rules focus on minimizing leakage, or on completely preventing it from a damaged hose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR whether a hose with visible leakage may continue to be used under any condition. • Check if wrapping, drip pans, or notification are ever listed as acceptable ways to continue using a leaking hose. • Confirm whether the regulation uses strong prohibitive language (e.g., "may not be used" or "must not be used") about defective hoses.
