🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• Which role is specifically named in 33 CFR as having operational control over starting and stopping an oil transfer? • Does the Coast Guard normally make the real-time go/no-go decision for every transfer, or do they establish regulations that a particular person must follow? • Among the options, who is explicitly required by regulation to be designated before an oil transfer can begin?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look for the exact term used in 33 CFR Subchapter O about who is "in charge" of oil transfer operations. • Verify whether the Captain of the Port directly approves each transfer, or only sets and enforces conditions and regulations. • Confirm that the correct choice matches the person who must be formally designated and on duty before starting transfer.
