🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR requirements for oil transfer operations between vessel and terminal • Role and authority of the vessel's person in charge (PIC) during loading • What constitutes an immediate and positive means to stop the flow of oil in an emergency

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: does this give the vessel’s person in charge a direct, reliable way to shut down the oil flow, even if verbal or visual communication fails? • Consider whether the method depends on someone else noticing and acting, or whether the vessel can cause the shutdown itself from its own station. • Think about what type of system 33 CFR would accept as an emergency shutdown: does it need to physically or mechanically control valves/pumps, or just signal the desire to stop?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR Part 154 or 155 what is required for emergency shutdown during oil transfer operations. • Check which options provide a positive, mechanical or equivalent control over pumps/valves versus options that are only signals or communications. • Make sure the selected option would still work effectively in a noisy environment, with radio failure, or if the terminal operator is distracted.
