In accordance with 33 CFR Subchapter O (Pollution), no person may serve as the person in charge of oil transfer operations on more than one vessel at a time __________.
• 33 CFR Subchapter O – Pollution (focus on oil transfer operations and the person in charge (PIC)) • Who has legal authority to grant exceptions or special permissions for transfer operations in U.S. ports • Safety concerns when one person oversees simultaneous oil transfers on multiple vessels
• Ask yourself: Is this rule about communication and logistics between vessels, or about regulatory authority and safety oversight? • Which of the options (radio, mooring, captain of the port, no exceptions) best matches how the CFR usually structures permissions and waivers? • Think: In hazardous operations, does the law normally allow private arrangements between vessels, or does it require involvement of a Coast Guard authority if any exception is allowed?
• Look at how 33 CFR typically phrases limits: it often says "no person may… unless authorized by" someone – who is that usually in port areas? • Verify whether radio communication or mooring conditions are ever used in the CFR as the legal basis for allowing one PIC to handle multiple oil transfers. • Confirm whether the regulation allows any exception at all, and if so, who is named in the regulation as having that authority.
