🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 153 & 155 – Oil and hazardous substance pollution control • Required actions when you observe an oil sheen on the water, even if you are not sure of the source • Difference between reporting requirements and recordkeeping (Oil Record Book) requirements

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you see oil on the water during fueling, what is your first legal responsibility, regardless of whether it is from your vessel or another source? • Consider which of the choices reflects a regulatory requirement versus something that might be good practice but is not always mandatory in this situation. • Think about whether the Oil Record Book is used for discharges from your vessel or for documenting pollution you happen to see from elsewhere.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what 33 CFR requires you to do when you observe oil pollution, even if you did not cause it. • Check whether the Oil Record Book is only for operations and discharges from your own vessel. • Confirm if you are specifically required to stop operations when the pollution is clearly from another source.
